Old Photograph Ardmillan Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Ardmillan Castle in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Originally a 16th Century tower house with a Georgian mansion house added to one side. The whole castle was gutted by fire in 1972, and in 1990 the ruins were completely demolished. Mary Queen of Scots, on 7 August, 1563, spent that night at Ardmillan Castle just south of Girvan. Her host John Kennedy of Ardmillan was the cousin of Thomas Kennedy of Bargany. Thomas’s own castle of Ardstinchar at Ballantrae was the queen’s lodging on the night of 8 August, and the following day she passed out of Ayrshire, never to return, and continued on through Wigtownshire.

Old Photograph St Duthac's Collegiate Church Tain Scotland

Old photograph of St Duthac's Collegiate Church in Tain in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. This Scottish church is said to have been built by William, Earl of Ross, who died 1371.

The chiefship of the Clan Ross passed to Earl William's brother Hugh Ross of Rariches, 1st of Balnagown, who was granted a charter, in 1374, for the lands of Balnagowan. The earldom of Ross passed through a female line, and that later led to dispute between two rival claimants, the Lord of the Isles and the Duke of Albany. This resulted in the Battle of Harlaw in 1411 where the Clan Ross fought as Highlanders in support of the Lord of the Isles against an army of Scottish Lowlanders who supported the Duke of Albany,
