Handsome stone house, Strathaven

This house is typical of detached residences in the wealthier parts of Scotland, and many similar can be seen in Edinburgh. Strathaven is well endowed with good architecture, sporting facilities and parks. One world famous Scot who lived there was Sir Harry Lauder - the Victorian equivalent of a pop star (and nearly as well paid, in his day). An older generation will remember some of his great "hits", which included "I Love a Lassie", "Roamin' in the Gloamin" and "Keep Right on to the End of the Road".
