House of Dun, Montrose, Scotland is a National Trust Property. Designed with Georgian pride and baroque extravagance by renowned architect William Adam, House of Dun is every bit the perfect 18th-century laird’s home.
It took 13 years to complete and the precision shows in the fine details. Joseph Enzer’s plasterwork in the saloon is masterful – classical tableaux and family emblems rise thickly from the walls and ceilings with filigree flourishes. Throughout the house, hand-stitched woolwork and embroideries by Lady Augusta FitzClarence, daughter of William IV and actress Dorothy Jordan, are equally impressive.
Downstairs in the kitchen see how the house was at the forefront of technology, with a labour-saving clockwork spit to make work easier for the cook and her staff. Finally, step into the wildlife-rich outdoors, where beautiful formal gardens are surrounded by acres of Montrose woodland.
Reduced price - originally $34.50. We found that a batch of the Cross Stitch Kits had needles that had rusted. We have removed the needles and replaced them with stainless steel tapestry needles and cleaned the rust marks as best we could. Any marks are on the border of the cloth and will not affect the centre of the cloth where the design sits. We have reduced the price by $7.00 to reflect the markings.
