Old travel Blog photograph of Corswall House near Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Corsewall, formerly a dower estate of the Earls of Galloway, was bought by Robert Carrick in 1815. His fortune was amassed as chairman of the first merchant bank in Glasgow, The Ship Bank. Co-founded by the Buchanans of Drumpellier, it was established in 1749 and financed, amongst other things, the lucrative tobacco trade between Glasgow and the American colonies. Corsewall was inherited by his cousin James Carrick-Moore in 1821. He was succeeded by his son, John Graham Carrick Moore, late Royal Horse Guards. He died without issue and Corsewall was inherited by Colonel Sir David C.R.Carrick Buchanan of Drumpellier.
