FIGGY's Sporadic Blips

By Figgy

Hidden

behind the archway is an oak stairway connecting the gallery of Blair Drummond House with the two upper floors.

Off the Gallery are the 'Tapestry Room' originally the family dining room and now our day students' recreation room, the 'Library' now a meeting room but still housing all the original books, and the 'Drawing Room' originally the family's sitting room and now our main meeting room.

At the top of the oak staircase on the first floor were the informal lounge and family bedrooms, now a residential house for 6 residents. A further oak staircase off the 'lounge' area (approx dimensions 50ft x 20ft) leads to the upper floor now a residential house and originally a squash court complete with viewing gallery.

Half way up the stairs on the turn is an oak door leading to the Minstrels' Gallery, the top of the wooden ballastrade can just be seen on the left of picture.
