A 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 wasn’t possible, poor old Mrs MAXWELL died in 1839, long before that part of the house was built! Just treat it as poetic licence!)
