Camperdown House
Image: © James Allan Taken: 9 Nov 2009
This neo-classical house, designed by William Burn, was built in 1828. It was named after the Battle of Camperdown (Camperduin, on the Dutch coast near Alkmaar) where Admiral Adam Duncan triumphed over the Dutch fleet in 1797. The Duncan family used grants from a grateful British government to build this house, now sadly almost derelict.
