Scope and Content The collection comprises photographic copies of drawings at Kimmerghame House, Scottish Borders, including: design for a house attributed to William Chambers 1770; designs for Kennet House by Thomas Harrison 1793-94; 18th-century plans for altering Kimmerghame; designs for Broadmeadows 1804-05; designs for Broadmeadows by David Hamilton 1811; designs for new house and lodges by William Burn 1827; and designs and contract drawings for the executed house by David Bryce 1853. NMRS Jubilee Guide, 1991.
Archive History Survey of drawings at Kimmerghame House and copied by RCAHMS in 1969. Some of the original dawings bore evidence of the fire which destroyed a major part of the house. Scorchmarks were cut off the drawings and some of the larger plans were cut into two or three pieces. It appears from the notes that this was done by one of the original owners and not as part of the survey, although it is not completely clear.
