Newhailes House

This morning I had a lovely wander round our local stately home, Newhailes House, which was lovely. 

With its origins in the 17th century, Newhailes was owned from 1709 by the influential Dalrymple family. Ownership was passed down over several generations of the family, with substantial additions in the first half of the 18th century. It was continuously inhabited by the Dalrymples for nearly 300 years, until it was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland in 1997.

In a very tenuous link, it turns out that the BBC is 100 years old today (well done), and the BBC have done a few tv programmes, podcasts from the house inc. one in 2019, about the eradication of moths from stately homes. Here’s a link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-scotland-47124668

Anyway, long live the BBC, as well as stately homes!

I hope you have had a good day.
