Bowhill, in the Scottish Borders, started life as a modest Georgian
villa, but over generations was transformed into a huge mansion.
The art collection was consolidated when Henry, the enlightened 3rd
Duke of Buccleuch, and his wife, Elizabeth, united the three
families of Montagu, Douglas and Scott circa 1800. The exterior of
austere greywacke stone belies rich interiors filled with great
treasures - the 4th Duke's Library, with its views of the Ettrick
Valley so beloved of his friend Sir Walter Scott, the damask
Drawing Room with its masterpieces by Claude and Ruysdael, the
Boudoir and its Chinese wallpaper, the Dining Room with its
Canaletto of the Thames at Whitehall, the Mortlake tapestries of
Mantegna's Triumphs of Caeasar, and the Buccleuch collection of
miniatures, second only to that of the Queen.
