Old Photograph Alderston House Haddington Scotland

Old photograph of Alderston House by Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. Alderston House was acquired by the Scottish Rural Workers Friendly Society and converted into a convalescent home which had opened by 1930. It was a neat neo-Classical house of five bays with a rusticated ground floor and slightly advanced centre bay surmounted by a pediment. A single-storey extension to one side was added later and a small scale, two storey pavilion on the other side, separate from the main house. During the Second World War it was incorporated in the Emergency Medical Scheme, and after the War it was transferred to the National Health Service as a convalescent home. This closed in 1956 and the house became a nurses’ home.

Old Photograph Glorat House Scotland

Old photograph of Glorat House near Milton of Campsie, Scotland. Milton of Campsie is a large Scottish village in East Dunbartonshire, 10 miles North of Glasgow. Glorat was the home of the Stirling family of Glorat, created baronets in 1680. A tower house stood on the site in 1510. In the 17th century the tower was replaced by a larger house: a lintel survives dated 1625 and bearing the initials MS for Mungo Stirling. The house was extensively rebuilt in the Scots Baronial style in 1869, though some 17th century masonry remains. In 1879 a tower was added. The gardens were laid out in the first half of the 19th century.
