The house was built by in 1672 by Robert Tyrie, a prominent local proprietor and fish merchant. Tyrie used the house as a base for conducting lucrative trade with continental merchants, most notably from Hamburg and other North German ports belonging to the Hanseatic League. The booming international trade era came to an end due to compounding setbacks, including a devastating pirate attack on Hanseatic shore trading booths in Shetland in 1696 and the introduction of the British salt tax in 1715. For more than two centuries, it remained a home to successive merchants and lairds who operated the surrounding Brough estate. By 1842. Tyrie is primarily a Scottish habitational surname, though it is also used as a modern masculine given name. The name is deeply rooted in Scottish geography and language. Most commonly, the surname comes from the Gaelic word tìr, meaning land or arable land, combined with a location-forming suffix. It roughly translates to land place or estate.

Starlings forage in lawns, fields, and other open areas with short vegetation. They are primarily insectivores in their natural habitat, but will feed on a wide variety of items outside of their natural diet, including fruits and seeds. The starling can be found throughout lowland Scotland where there is cultivation and pasture. It is generally absent in highlands and in areas dominated by grass or heather moorland. Highest densities are found along the East coast, Central lowlands and Dumfries and Galloway.

Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn Sunday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a beautiful, sociable, black and white Magpie Bird spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" ne for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey.
