The beautiful building was built in 18th century and a family member had suggested that they should celebrate the era it was built in.

The Victorian Day was very popular with everyone, Bearsden Fiddlers performed and the beautiful gardens were decorated tastefully with lacy Victorian bunting. A section of the garden was earmarked for Victorian games such as tin can alley, croquet, hoopla, popcorn and prizes such as coconuts, etc.
