Summary
| Description |
English: Eaglescairnie House Eaglescairnie - 'The church by the rocks' It is believed there has been a house on this site since the 12th century when Emma de St. Hilary married William de Vetereponte (Vipond) at Bolton. A descendent, Katherine Chisholm married Walter Haliburton of Dirleton in 1432 and the house continued to pass down through the generations. That line ended in 1919 with the death of Emily Henrietta Stuart, daughter of Sir Patrick Stuart and grand daughter of the 10th Lord Blantyre of Lennoxlove. The house was featured recently in the East Lothian Life magazine. The first story of this historic house.
Strictly speaking, the word Eaglescairnie in Scots Gaelic means 'church by the cairn (pile of rocks) though there is much debate with many believing the 'cairnie' part of the word being associated with a saint. |
