From first glance, the rose pink-hued house looks like it has just stepped out of a children’s fairy tale due to its enchanting castle-style appearance.

With its crow-stepped roof gables, metal-studded, fortress-style wood doors and a sweeping spiral stone staircase that curls up the three storeys, Old Craig is an exceptional example of the fashionable Scottish Baronial architectural style of that era.

These include Sir Thomas Elphinstone, a former Governor of Maryland in the United States and the Hill Burton family. Dr John Hill Burton, an eminent Scottish advocate and historian was appointed as the Queen’s Royal Historiographer and he lived there in the latter part of the 19th century. The house accommodated his formidable library collection of over 10,000 books. His son William Kinninmond Burton became a renowned engineer who worked on major infrastructural projects in Japan and is said to have designed Tokyo’s first skyscraper.
