Fairlieburn House, Fairlie, Ayrshire. It was built in the early 19th century, for a naval architect, George Nixon Duck. It was probably rented by Colonel Young, who is referred to in the mansuscript index to the album, in the 1840s. The house was demolished in 1990. The bridge in the foreground of this picture originally carried the main road through Fairlie. When the large summer residences, such as Fairlie House, Creich Cottage and Fairlieburn House, were built, the road was moved to its present position away from the shore.
