Glendaruel House Cowal & Bute area
« on: Tuesday 26 February 08 19:44 UTC (UK) »
I know this is a long shot but here goes. My late grandmother Catherine McColl Stewart (nee Carmichael) was one of the domestic staff at Glendaruel House betwween 1919-1924 (approx). The house was built in 1903 and bought in 1905 by the London surgeon William Harrison Cripps (uncle of Stafford Cripps, the former Chancellor). The house remained in the family till just after WWI. I am hoping somebody out there might - and it's a big 'might' - have some old photos of the family and/or staff taken during the period my grandmother worked there or any other info. of interest.

Glendaruel House burned down in 1970.  You can find some pictures on http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/362715 

There is now a caravan park on the site of the former Glendaruel House (see http://www.glendaruelcaravanpark.com/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/itmpa/3130543647/) and the Cowal Way passes there.

At http://www.slch.org.uk/g.html you find an old picture of Glendaruel House.

I live in the next village (Colintraive) but we form one community with Glendaruel.  I could try to find out if there are some old pictures....

Hi gc1660, thanks for the information. Especially like the old postcard photograph of Glendaruel House contained in one of the links.
