Notes |
- Arthur Balcarres Wardlaw Ramsay spent his childhood at Whitehill.87 He joined the Princess
Louise's Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and served in France during World War I.88 After
the war Whitehill House was sold to the Charity of St Vincent de Paul and became St
Joseph's Children's Hospital.89 A.B. Wardlaw Ramsay appears to have spent some time at
Tillicoultry House. His daughter Euphan was born in Edinburgh, but baptised in Tillicoultry90
and spent time there as a young child. In the 1920s and 1930s there are numerous
references in the local newspapers to the grounds being used for Sunday school outings,
fetes and similar events. In 1930 Major Wardlaw Ramsay put the house and 1500 acres up
for sale but it seems to have been 1937 before it was finally sold and the family moved away
from the area.91
