Old Photograph Stainrigg House Scotland

Old photograph of Stainrigg House, Eccles, Berwickshire, Scotland. Stainrigg, or Stoneridge House, has been in existence since at least the seventeenth century. The present house results from extensive remodelling carried out in the nineteenth century. The original Stainrigg was a three-storeyed harled structure, built along simple classical lines. A date panel on the north-east wall records the date of construction as 1631. In 1880, the architects Kinnear and Peddie carried out extensive work, which gave the house a very different, Scots Baronial, appearance.

Old Photograph Carstairs House Scotland

Old photograph of Carstairs House in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. This Scottish house was built by the Edinburgh architect William Burn between 1820 and 1823 for Henry Monteith MP. It replaced the previous building on the site. It then passed to his son Robert Monteith, and on his death to Joseph Monteith who built a hydroelectric plant at nearby Jarviswood, and the Carstairs House Tramway to transport guests and family to and from Carstairs railway station. In 1899 it was purchased by Sir James King, 1st Baronet who had been Lord Provost of Glasgow between 1886 and 1889. In 1924 Carstairs House was sold to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow and renamed as the St. Charles Institution. The children moved here in 1925. The St Charles Certified Institution for mentally defective Catholic children was opened in June 1916 at Marham House, Broomhill, Glasgow. The Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul staffed the institution and there was provision for 63 children. St Charles' institution closed in 1983.
