Thanks Forfarian and Ayresa1 !

I now have the photo I was after , Relugas House 1878, printed , and am just today am putting it into my family heritage scrapbook  I am very happy with the quality of the scan. If and when I get to visit Scotland, Relugas estate is definitely on my list !!

Ayresa...  that is so neat  your ancestor worked there too in the gardens!  And I now know what that tower is ! thanks.  A clocktower ...  is it near a stone bridge?  I am trying to get an overall idea of the estate . I did glean some modern pics off the internet of the present house and one does show the clocktower.   In my 1878 photo, I can just see what looks like a stone railing maybe on a bridge.  The clocktower is not visible, obscured by trees from the vantage point of the photographer.  Did you take pics when there?  I would be very interested in what you found there !

If anyone is interested in this 1878 photo I am willing to share, (I paid enough for it !!) , Contact me and I can email it. (*) It is too large of a file to post here.
 Thanks again all, Heather

If you would like to send me your address via 'Personal Messages' I can send you a couple of photos.  They aren't very good I'm afraid as it was raining at the time of our visit and the cloud ceiling would be best described as 'low'.  I think they are too dark to scan.
