Statement of Interest

The published designs of William Adam's Tinwald is VITRUVIUS

SCOTICUS shows the house virtually as built, but with wings

unlike those which now form the Cottages and the principal

range of Tinwald Farm; nevertheless, it is probable that

these existing ranges were also designed by Adam: the design

was modified either for publication or for actual

construction.
