I'm so glad you enjoy the postings here.<br /><br />I think so many owners found it simply too difficult to keep huge country houses going in the 20th century, particularly when hit hard with death duties. Fortunately organisations like the National Trust and National Trust for Scotland saved these places because otherwise such gems of house would all be lost.Nicola Cornickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916076219284821820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-38629329484026778792012-08-08T06:18:35.807+01:002012-08-08T06:18:35.807+01:00Such a shame that the owners were not able to keep...Such a shame that the owners were not able to keep the house up to a certain standard. But it does cost a good amount of money to keep up a property and finding quality tradesmen when you needed repairs might have been a hard task. <br />Keep the information coming on all these lovely homes. I just devour the information.gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340695421297618723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-33817635207861315652012-08-07T16:59:05.845+01:002012-08-07T16:59:05.845+01:00Thanks, Melinda!

Newhailes was an extraordinary place with such a strong atmosphere. I'm not surprised some people have seen ghosts there.Nicola Cornickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916076219284821820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-43254542631363370052012-08-07T15:16:37.522+01:002012-08-07T15:16:37.522+01:00Newhailes sounds a fascinating place, Nicola, than...Newhailes sounds a fascinating place, Nicola, thanks for describing it to us. And the will being found just before Miss Christian's departure sounds like something from a novel! Good luck with your latest work, although I am sure Newhailes will inspire you for many books to come.Melinda Hammond/Sarah Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402460212860103804noreply@blogger.com
