Cardross House (10 of 10)
While the family of Erskine of Cardross produced many interesting sons - the usual clutch of 19th century Admirals, Indian army Generals and the like, they had little direct bearing on Cardross, which was eventually sold out of the family's hands in 1920.  (It was not uncommon for 19th century general officers to be far too busy being 19th century general officers to have children, although that doesn't seem to have been the case here!)

The old house and its beautiful estate, set in the Flanders Moss and surrounded by hills and mountains all around, are well managed and looked after these days by the Orr-Ewing family.
