„The Sleeping Tower Of Cammo“

from the gallery of Tamas Katai
Cammo
Description:

The house was built for John Menzies in 1693, and the surrounding parkland was laid out between 1710-26 by Sir John Clerk of Penicuik (1676–1755). In 1741, the estate passed to the Watsons of Saughton. The house burned down in the 20th century, and the upper parts were subsequently demolished, leaving only the lower walls and the front doorway.

After the fire, the owners gifted the remains of the house and the grounds to the National Trust for Scotland. The City of Edinburgh Council now maintain the grounds and operate a ranger service. Cammo is thought to have been the inspiration for the House of Shaws; in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped.
