Visit by IEEE Foundation President
13/08/2011Dr. Dick GOWEN accompanied by his wife Nancy paid a visit to Glenlair on Saturday to receive an update on developments and witness progress made since their last visit in 2009. Typically the Scottish weather was a bit disappointing, but fortunately stayed dry long enough for them to tour Glenlair House and the Walter Newall Farm Steading, which they had not seen previously. Henrietta treated them to one of her delightful lunches, before they headed back to 'Auld Reekie'.
Professor and Mrs Maxwel return to Glenlair
06/08/2011A fancy dress party in honour of the 40th Birthday celebrations of one of our trustees, Angus FERGUSON and his wife Frances (subsequently also elected as a Trustee) provided a splendid opportunity for a return visit by Professor and Mrs James Clerk MAXWELL to GLENLAIR HOUSE. After all, they were about to enter their own original front door and could expect to yet again feast their eyes on those beautiful Minton Tiles so creatively designed and laid by James.
(Before you all email to say this wasnt possible, poor old Mrs MAXWELL died in 1839, long before that part of the house was built! Just treat it as poetic licence!)
