Old travel Blog photograph the Vine Room in Kellie Castle, 10 miles South of St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Kellie Castle is located three miles north of Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife, and largely dates from the 16th and early 17th centuries. Robert Lorimer was born in Edinburgh in 1864, the third child and younger son of Professor James Lorimer and Hannah Stodart. He gained much of his inspiration for architecture and design from living at Kellie Castle, which his parents leased and started restoring in 1878. Over the years, Robert became very familiar with the grand and domestic design at Kellie, which had been turned from a medieval tower, to a 17th century mansion house and then an arts and crafts home.
