EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Ayr Wallace Tower, a Victorian-era landmark located in the beautiful coastal town of Ayr, Scotland. This photograph, taken during the Edwardian period of the late 1800s to early 1900s, showcases the tower's grandeur and historical significance. The Ayr Wallace Tower, also known as the Belleisle Tower, was built in 1877 to commemorate the visit of the Duke of Argyll and his wife, Princess Louise, who laid the foundation stone. The tower stands proudly on the shores of the Firth of Clyde, overlooking the Irish Sea, and was designed in the Scottish Baronial style, with its distinctive conical roof and ornate stonework. The photograph captures the tower's intricate details, from the decorative arches and turrets to the tall, narrow windows. The tower is also adorned with various coats of arms, including the Royal Arms of Scotland and the crest of the Wallace family. The vintage lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and grand structures like Ayr Wallace Tower were a source of pride and inspiration for communities. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the Victorian era, as we take in the beauty and history of this Scottish landmark.
