Staff at Scotsburn House

This picture of the staff of Scotsburn House taken around 1900 gives an idea of the number of people employed in such houses and thus the large number of people in service generally at that time. The small boy is Donald (Doey) Macdonald and his father is the gamekeeper (with gun), father and grandfather respectively of Kenneth Macdonald, formerly of Arabella, currently living in Scotsburn Road, Tain.
