Old Travel Blog Photograph Gardens And House Balcarres Colinsburgh Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the house and gardens at Balcarres by Colinsburgh, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house is based on a mansion built in 1595 by John Lindsay, born 1552, died 1598, second son of the ninth Earl of Crawford. The house became the family seat of the Earl of Crawford. The present house is the result of substantial extensions in the early nineteenth century, using part of a fortune made in India, but preserves much of the original mansion.
