Scope and Content Drawing Room, Duntreath Castle, Strathblane, Stirling Duntreath Castle was remodelled in 1890 in a lavish style by the architect, Sydney Mitchell, for Sir Archibald Edmonstone. The drawing room, part of the reconstruction, was photographed in 1898 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. This elegant room, furnished in a French style, has a coved ceiling with elaborate plasterwork decoration. The room continues through a curtained opening into part of a turret that has been converted into a charming and intimate 'cosy corner'. The 'cosy corner', popular in the 1890s, was basically an arrangement of two sofas at right angles to each other, with a high back that might be curtained, and shelves for books or bric-a-brac. On a grand scale, it could be a miniature boudoir. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
