House <y Garden 
from paucity of accommodation, has had the 
good fortune to be dealt with by so sympa¬ 
thetic a hand as Mr. Lorimer’s; the whole 
of the repairs here and additions as well as the 
garden work being done under his direction. 
The kitchen wing shown in the photograph 
of “ the white garden ” will serve to express 
the architect’s full appreciation of that per¬ 
pendicularity tempered by large wall spaces 
is illustrated. Like “ Karlshall,” it is an old 
house which has been altered The large 
panel over the fireplace in the interior view 
is new, and a charming variety is given to the 
otherwise ordinary treatment by the small 
carved compartments of the moulding. The 
old Dutch fireback tiles are of that peculiarly 
pleasing white which is tinged with purple. 
The grate and fender are of steel. 
which is so characteristic of this traditional 
work at its best period. The topiary work 
in the garden is commendably restrained. 
A memorial to the Patersons of Castle 
Huntly, taking the form of an oak screen in 
Longforgan Church, Perthshire, again shows 
this fine quality of decorative adaptation. 
I he carved heraldic panel is painted on the 
wood. 
On this page and opposite, “ Briglands ” 
On page 156 is illustrated a new house 
built at Colinton, near Edinburgh. In addi¬ 
tion to the houses built under his surveillance, 
Mr. Lorimer has produced many designs 
for furniture and embroideries, most of them 
strictly traditional in manner yet all display¬ 
ing a consistent evolution from the best of 
earlier examples—the embroidered bed 
spread will show the results in this direction.
