Old Photograph High Street Lanark Scotland

Old photograph of shops, houses, cars and people on the High Street in Lanark, Scotland. Lanark has served as an important market town since medieval times, and King David I made it a Royal Burgh in 1140, giving it certain mercantile privileges relating to government and taxation. King David I realised that greater prosperity could result from encouraging trade. He decided to create a chain of new towns across Scotland. Lanark was the county town of the former county of Lanarkshire, though for many years Hamilton was the county town, before the formation of Strathclyde. Lanark railway station and coach station have frequent services to Glasgow. There is little industry these days in Lanark and some residents commute to work in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Old Photograph Gartmore House Scotland

Old photograph of Gartmore House in Gartmore village near Stirling, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house was built in the mid 18th century for the Graham family on the site of an earlier house. William Adam prepared plans for Nicol Graham of Gartmore in the 1740s. The house was enlarged for Nicol's son, Robert Graham of Gartmore by John Baxter Junior in 1779. Gartmore became the home of Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham, born 1852, died 1936, in 1883. He was forced to sell the estate in 1900 to pay death duties. The estate was then bought by Sir Charles Cayzer. It was partly redesigned by David Barclay, a student of Charles Rennie Mackintosh of Glasgow, who added the tower, altered the roof and redesigned the western front, in 1901. Internally, the main stairs were relocated in the centre of the house and the staircase is substantial, timber, which Cayzer claimed came from the Spanish Armada, with balustrades and newel posts which reflect Mannerist forms. The house was commandeered by the Army in the 1940s, and became a barracks until 1950. After the war, the Cayzer family did not take the house back and it was sold off in pieces. In 1953, the Archdiocese of Glasgow bought the house to establish St. Ninian's, a list D school run by the De La Salle Brothers, a Roman Catholic religious order.
