Scope and Content Billiard Room, Duntreath Castle, Strathblane, Stirling Duntreath Castle, the country seat of Sir Archibald Edmonstone, was remodelled in 1890 by the architect, Sydney Mitchell. The interior was extensively photographed in 1898 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The billiard room, with its wooden dado and ceiling beams, was regarded as a male preserve. The room is simply furnished with deep, comfortable armchairs and sofas, and the walls hung with paintings of country scenes of hunting and shooting. At Duntreath the billiard room, gun rooms and smoking room were situated on the ground floor, and accessed directly from the main entrance pend. This was the gentlemen's 'off the hill' domain designed in the era when shooting parties stayed at the castle. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
