I enjoyed reading the two volumes of her autobiography ('Blue Above the Chimneys' and 'Roses Round the Door') a few years ago, and it was quite a moving experience to see this lovely house where Christine lived so happily.

The attractive gates at the front

Looking straight across the field to the Clyde
Flag in the sky!

Enjoying your new pictures Jane,interesting piece on Christine Marion Fraser,I must have passed the cottage but had no idea of its past,thanks.
Did you photoshop that blue sky in!I think this August has been declared the wettest ever for the area.

Hi Gerry, many thanks for this! Yes, I must admit I brightened the sky in the flag one! Perhaps I should put the original photo there instead as I've overdone it a bit. The others are natural though, believe it or not! Yes, it's been raining everywhere - also here in Wales of course - it never stops for long! Hope all's well with you and I hope to catch up with your photos soon too,
Jane
Interesting post. Thanks for sharing!
Last three photos are beautiful..especially the one with the Scottish flag in the sky :)
Thanks so much Kirigalpoththa!
Hi very interesting posts, and photos, we are now the new owners of Rhanna and moved in just five weeks ago, it is a beautiful house, and Toward Point is amazing. My husband bought me two of Christine Marianne Frasers books, I only started to read one of them when we actually moved in to Rhanna. We were hoping for the squirrels on the gate posts still to be here but sadly they have gone.
If you have any more photos of the house in years gone by I would love to see them.
Regards
Pauline
