Hill of Tarvit Mansion and Gardens

A lovely sunny day with strong chill winds

After I had a telephone check in by my Cardiologist, we went to visit Hill of Tarvit in Fife. It was originally known as Wemyss Hall. In 1904, the new owner, Frederick Sharp, commissioned architect Robert Lorimer to transform the 17th-century house into a modern 20th-century mansion to display his amazing collection of fine art, porcelain and many other items. When the Sharp family moved into Hill of Tarvit, they had electricity, telephones connecting each room and central heating.

We walked round the grounds and then walked up the Hill, which is 700 feet high. The wind was very strong at the top and much colder but the views were well worth the effort.
