Most of the current building dates to the early 18th century, when extensive reconstruction was carried out by architect Alexander Edward for James Maule, 4th Earl of Panmure, between approximately 1696 and 1709. The grounds have been in the Maule-Ramsay family since the 12th century. The castle has been the seat of the Clan Maule since medieval times.

Old Photograph High Street Paisley Scotland

Old photograph of shops, cars, buildings, and people on the High Street in Paisley by Glasgow, Scotland. The Industrial Revolution based on the textile industry turned Paisley from a small market town to an important industrial town in the late 18th century. Its location attracted English mill owners; immigrants from Ayrshire and the Highlands poured in to a town that offered paying jobs to women and children. By the middle of the19th century weaving had become the town's principal industry. The Paisley weavers' most famous product were the shawls, which bore the Paisley Pattern made fashionable after being worn by a young Queen Victoria. The American Civil War of 1861 to 1865 cut off cotton supplies to the textile mills of Paisley. The mills in 1861 had a stock of cotton in reserve, but by 1862 there was large scale shortages and closures.

Old Photograph Gypsy With Donkey And Cart Near Perth Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of a Gypsy with a donkey and cart on the road from Stormontfield to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Highland Travellers also known as Tinkers are closely tied to the native Highlands, and many traveller families carry clan names like Macfie, Stewart, MacDonald, Cameron, Williamson and Macmillan. They followed a nomadic or settled lifestyle; passing from village to village and are strongly identified with the native Gaelic speaking population. Continuing their nomadic life, they would often pitch their tents on rough ground on the edge of the village and earn money there as tinsmiths, hawkers, horse dealers or pearl fishermen. Many found seasonal employment on farms, e.g. at the berry picking or during harvest time.

Old Photograph Lord Huntly's Cave Scotland

Old photograph of Lord Huntly's Cave located north of Grantown on Spey, Scotland. This Scottish cave is named after George Gordon, 2nd Marquis of Huntly, born 1592, died March 1649. He is said to have hidden here after his Royalist force was defeated by Archibald Campbell, the 1st Marquis of Argyll, born 1598, died 1661, in the early 1640s. He was sustained by Mary Grant, sister of Sir James Grant of Freuchie, the Laird of Grant, who sent supplies from Castle Grant. Soon after the couple married. After evading pursuit for several months by constantly changing his hiding place, he was at last, in December, captured by Lieutenant colonel Menzies at midnight, as he was retiring to bed, at Dalnabo in Strathdon. The capture was effected after a severe struggle with the ten gentlemen and servants who were in attendance on him, six of whom were slain in their efforts to defend him. On the news of his capture becoming known, about five hundred men under Grant of Carron assembled to effect his rescue, but Menzies, for greater security, carried him to the castle of Blairfindie in Glenlivet. Huntly, on learning their intentions, also sent them a message, dissuading them from the enterprise. When news of his capture reached the committee of estates, it was debated whether he should be immediately executed or reprieved till the meeting of parliament, and the latter motion was carried by one vote. After remaining two days at Leith, he was delivered up to the magistrates of Edinburgh, and sent to the Tolbooth. There he remained till 22 March 1649, when by order of the Scots parliament he was beheaded at the cross of Edinburgh.

Old Photograph Railway Station Kirkliston Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Kirkliston village located ten miles from Edinburgh in West Lothian, Scotland. Until 1930, Kirkliston had its own railway station, built by the North British Railway. The station was located on a branch line from Queensferry Junction, near Ratho on the Edinburgh to Glasgow main line, to Dalmeny, which was opened in 1866. The line was extended from Dalmeny to Queensferry and Port Edgar a few years later. The train station was closed to passengers by the London and North Eastern Railway in 1930. Kirkliston was the location of the first recorded Parliament in Scottish history; the Estates of Scotland met there in 1235, during the reign of Alexander II of Scotland. From 1959 to 2001, Kirkliston was the site of the Drambuie liqueur factory. There had also been a whisky distillery in the south of the town since 1795. In later years this became a malt factory. Both factories have been demolished.
