Old Photograph St David's Church Dalkeith Scotland

Old photograph of St David's Church in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland. This is a Roman Catholic Parish church founded in 1854 by Lady Cecil, the wife of John Kerr, 7th Marquess of Lothian and daughter of Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 2nd Earl Talbot. After she converted to Catholicism, Lady Cecil of Lothian decided to build a church for the local Catholic population. Joseph Hansom was the church architect and building started in 1853. On 21 May 1854, the church opened and a Father Mackay was the first parish priest. In 1858, he was replaced by a Father J. S. McCorry. In 1860, Lady Cecil invited the Society of Jesus to serve the parish. In 1944, the Jesuits left the parish and handed over administration of the church to the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh who continue to serve the congregation.

Old Photograph Keppoch House Scotland

Old photograph of Keppoch House in the Highlands of Scotland. Keppoch House was built between 1760 and 1765 by Ranald Macdonell, 17th Chief of Keppoch, to replace the earlier house destroyed after the 1745 Rebellion. The Macdonalds, or Macdonells of Keppoch were not cadets of Glengarry but an independent clan, caught up like most of their neighbours in an endless round of land disputes and inter clan feuds, of which the Keppoch Murders of 1663 were a particularly gruesome example. The 18th century found them constantly engaged in land feuds with the Mackintoshes, who eventually managed to hold this territory from after 1745 until 1945, prompting most of the Keppoch clan to emigrate.

Old Photograph Ladykirk House Scotland

Old photograph of Ladykirk House in Berwickshire, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house was built in 1797, to a design by the architect William Elliot, and it resembled Dundas House, which still stands in St Andrews Square, Edinburgh. It consisted of a central main block with adjoining symmetrical wings, and was built in the Classical style, with a central pediment and a parapet balustrade. Additions and alterations were undertaken in 1845 by William Burn. Ladykirk estate was owned by the Robertson family in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The initials of one of the Robertsons, 'W R', were carved into the datestone that was once incorporated into the fabric of Ladykirk House.
