Old Photograph Dunglass House Scotland

Old photograph of Dunglass House located North West of Cockburnspath near Cove, Scotland. The first Dunglass Castle was built by the Pepdies of Dunglass in the 14th century. On the marriage of Nicola Pepdie to Sir Thomas Home, the castle and lands passed to the Home family. It remained in their possession until their forfeiture in 1516, when it passed to Archibald Douglas, Earl of Angus, but it was later besieged and destroyed by the English under the command of Earl Henry of Northumberland, England, in the winter of 1532, and again under Duke Edward of Somerset in 1547, when held by Sir George Douglas. The castle was rebuilt, in an enlarged and improved form, and gave accommodation in 1603 to King James VI, and all his retinue, when on his journey to London, England, to take up the English throne. However, it was destroyed once again on 30 August 1640 when held by a party of Covenanters under Thomas, Earl of Haddington. An English page, according to Scotstarvet, vexed by a taunt against his countrymen, thrust a red hot iron into a powder barrel, and himself was killed, with the Earl, his half-brother, Richard, and many others. In 1807, ownership of Dunglass passed into the Hall family and work began on a new Mansion House, designed by Richard Crichton, on the site where the original Castle once stood. Francis James Usher bought the Estate from Sir John Richard Hall, 9th Bart in 1919, and the estate remains in the Usher family.
