NS3477 : Geilston Halls: detail

taken 11 years ago, near to Geilston, Argyll And Bute, Scotland

Geilston Halls: detail
Geilston Halls: detail
For the whole building, see NS3478 : Geilston Halls and NS3477 : Geilston Hall, Cardross.

This detail is from above the entrance that appears on the right in those pictures.

"Erected
1889
in Memoriam
JTG".

(Or ITG, depending on how the first glyph is read.)

As described at the first of the above links, the previous Geilston Halls, which was on the same site, had been destroyed by fire. The JTG/ITG commemorated by this inscription on the second building is, I believe, the Joseph Tucker Geils whose initials also appear on an old well in nearby Geilston Gardens: NS3478 : Old wellhead, Geilston Gardens.
