Scope and Content Grand Lounge, Turnberry Hotel, Turnberry, Ayrshire Turnberry Railway Hotel was designed by the Glasgow architect, James Miller, for the Glasgow & South Western Railway Company. The interior was photographed shortly after the hotel opened in 1906 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The grand lounge overlooks the terrace garden, and was designed in an 18th-century Queen Anne style with wooden-panelled walls and bold plasterwork. The cane furniture is contemporary, and the splendid light fittings celebrate the age of electricity. In the early 1900s, cane furniture was mostly used in conservatories or in the garden, so its use is appropriate here. One criticism was that 'it creaked when one sat down, and (when new) it continued to creak for ten minutes after one had got up'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
