Description: | Photographs from the Menzies family who lived at Larchgrove House. The house is located to the West of the centre of Balerno to the south of the Water of Leith. Alan Menzies was a Writer to the Signet and his wife Katherine was from the Bruce family who owned Kinleith Mill. Their daughter Helen features in many of the images. The coachman Philip Jacques had worked for Lord Baden Powell. The photographs include family groups, the exterior and interior of the house, grounds and gardens, farming scenes and family holidays to Iona. Of particular interest are those of convalescing soldiers and army nurses as the house was used as a hospital during the First World War. | Source: | Heriot-Watt University | Date: | c. 1910-1920 | Identifier: | TWP/9/1/2 | Relation: | TWP/9/1 |
