Edinburgh and Scottish Collection

This image comes from volume one of a set of family photograph albums known as the Moray Albums held by the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection at Central Library. The albums belonged to a family known as the Stirling Home Drummond Morays, an aristocratic, well-connected Scottish landowning family. Originally the name was Drummond, but was extended in 1741 when Agatha Drummond of Blair Drummond married Henry Home of Kames. Their grandson, Henry Home Drummond married Christian Moray, eldest daughter of Colonel Charles Moray of Abercairny and his wife, Anne Stirling. The Stirling name was added due to the inclusion of Anne Stirling's lands.
