Jennie77 - if you're interested in looking at photos of the Gardener's cottages there is a website - www.gardeners-cottages.com.  The Carriage Lodge can be seen at www.thecarriagelodge.co.uk.

House2000 - I remember my mum saying that she had been to parties at the house when she lived at Arden - I think that would have been in the late 50s/early 60s.  I think those were the best years of her life!  Thanks for the link.

TerriG -  I was at the parties mid 60's to 70 so maybe at the same time as your mum!

I always thought it was Sir James and Lady Lumsden who lived in Arden House - I didn't realise he was a Lord. I remember his son also James but known as Hamish and also his wife Sheila who always went to the Christmas party. She died 2008 and Hamish died 2013.

I think the latest my mum would have been at Arden would be 1965/66 because she moved to England & had my sister late 1967.  Her name was Georgina, & she had an older sister, Joyce. 

When we visited Arden last year, it was the day after Hamish died, I believe.

My older brother and sister might remember better than me - I'll ask them. Because we stayed nearer Helensburgh we went to a school there so we only met the Arden children once a year at the party! Can I ask your mum's  surname? We were the McAdam family.

Wow, that's amazing! If you'd like to see a photo of her from that time, PM me with your e-mail address & I'll send it to you, as I'm not sure if her companion in the photo is still living.

Just been speaking to my sister, and she thinks that our mum went to parties at Lomond Castle.
