Old Photograph Public Library Wick Scotland
Old photograph of the public library in Wick, Scotland. The library at Wick was located close to the home of Andrew Carnegie at Skibo Castle in the far north of mainland Scotland. It was designed in the Scottish vernacular style by Edinburgh architect, Thomas Leadbetter. Carnegie had indicated in October 1891 that he was " willing to deal handsomely with the Buiding Committee with regard to the library "; he subsequently agreed in June 1892 to meet part of the construction costs and the foundation stone was laid on 27th March 1897. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
