Arch of John Allan's house, Burnfoot, Fairlie, Ayrshire. ohn Allan (1793-1861) was the gardener at Fairlie Craig, working for Hugh Tennent’s friend, Professor Mylne of Glasgow. His father, Andrew was schoolmaster for a while. In 1841 he was living in what was then known as Mylne’s Garden Cottage; by the time the calotypes were taken, he and his mother, Eliza, were living in Burnfoot. Several houses in Burnfoot are pictured in the albums, and this may be the same cottage as above, as the Craig is situated very near Burnfoot. However, he proudly describes himself in 1851 as 'house proprietor', so he must have been able to buy it.
