Hi

I have an ancient notice dated Harvieston, 22d Sept 1817 concerning the Shooting of Pigeons and starting
Whereas Mr Cranston has for some time past suffered great inconvenience and prejudice by idle and disorderly people Shooting at and Destroying his PIGEONS .................................

Will try to post an image of it if anyone is interested.

Hoping to visit Harvieston on our way back from Perthsire on 8 or 9 Sept

Here is the scan - with 1 mm. off top and bottom because it is on a sheet of paper larger than the scanner.
It feels like old paper, though whether it is actually the original I can't be certain.  But it probably is,
since it came down to me through a Macfie who married my great-grandfather.

Many thanks for posting the image, it is much appreciated, I have at least two generations of my Smith ancestors at Harvieston, servants to Mr Cranstoun so I very grateful for your kindness.

Best Regards

We visited Harvieston on 9 Sep and took this picture.

It is all a bit sad really, the house appeared to be rather poorly maintained, and we met someone on the way out who told us that the house was now split into 9 flats, and that the grounds between the house and the main road have been sold to Wimpey for housing development.

Such is progress!@

Many thanks for posting the image of Harvieston.  It is in much the same condition as when I visited several years ago.  What a shame such a lovely home isn't lived in as it meant to be. 

I could close my eyes and envisage the horse and carriage slowly making its way along the meandering approach, on board Thomas Cranstoun, keeping a watchful eye on my ancestors working in the fields.  What a beautiful peacful valley or should I say glen the house is situated.   

Regards

yes, sadly the house is in poor condition - but none the less it is still a special place for those of us fortunate enough to live here!

Hi,what an interesting post! I have no family history connection with this place (apart from a relative who lives in Gorebridge) but I thought perhaps someone could look up the Valuation Rolls for the area.This will give the name of the owners & or,tenants of a property. If you are lucky enough to find one after the sale in 1919 this will give you the name of the new owners. Also local newspapers will have reported on the sale of the estate.

I believe that Harvieston means " Market Place " though " Ton " at the end means Farm. Going back to the mid 1600's it is named Hervistoun.

Folks, there is a sheepfarm called Harvieston away up the Strath of Kildonan,Sutherland, so named by a family named Trotter who leased it from the Duke of Sutherland. Midlothian connection?....Skoosh.
