EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic gate lodges flanking the Bear Gates of Traquair House, as featured in the renowned book '100 Favourite Houses'. The image was captured by an English photographer from the 20th century. Traquair House holds a significant place in Scottish history as it is recognized as the oldest continuously inhabited house in Scotland. With some parts dating back to the early 12th century, this remarkable estate has witnessed centuries of change while remaining almost untouched since 1680. Once a royal palace until the 15th century, Traquair House's gates were last closed in 1745 when they were shut by Jacobite army forces marching towards England. The photograph beautifully captures the grandeur and charm of these gate lodges that stand proudly at the entrance of this historic Scottish stately home. Nestled within Peeblesshire, these cottages exude timeless elegance against a backdrop of lush countryside. Through this mesmerizing image, viewers are transported back to a time long ago - where history comes alive through architectural marvels like Traquair House. This photograph serves as a visual testament to its enduring legacy and invites us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
