Dalkeith Palace (c. 1702) on the site of an earlier castle and the seat of the Montagu Douglas Scott family. The Palace was the creation of Anna Scott, the 1st Duke of Monmouth and Buccleuch’s widow, who employed architect James Smith. Alterations by John Adam (1762) and James Playfair (1786).
"When the Duke of Monmouth died his widow, Anne, asked James Smith to use William of Orange's Palace in Holland as a model for Dalkeith Palace. James Smith completed this large Scottish Country House in 1701-11: it was deemed the grandest of Scottish Classical Houses."

A bit more archive action for a very wet Saturday. This was the view (looking west with the Finnieston Crane in the background) from the very top of the disgracefully demolished St. Enoch Hotel, one of Glasgow’s three great railway hotels, flattened along with the station for a second-rate shopping mall.
I don’t remember being scared up here and obviously this was before Health and Safety was invented so no high-vis, hard hats or safety lines. 😀

The bottom of Hope Street, Glasgow is a place I pass through quickly, why I hadn’t spotted this beautiful printing press detail on the doorway of the former Daily Record building at 67 Hope Street. Originally J M Smith and Co’s Glasgow Evening News Offices and Printing Works, then the Daily Record until their move to Anderston Quay. The building used to feature a large window looking into the press hall, you could stand there at night and watch the paper being printed. #newspaper #newspapers #newspaperprint #dailyrecord #printingpress #decorativestone #redsandstone #glasgow #glasgowarchitecture #scottisharchitecture #photography #nikon #nikonfz #nikkor
