Friar’s Carse, Dumfriesshire
Artist: Grose, Francis · 1731-1791
Friar’s Carse was the home of Robert Riddell who assisted Grose in his work and with whom Grose stayed for parts of his Scottish travels. The original house was demolished c.1771-73 by Riddell who remodelled the property and changed its name to Glenriddell. It was whilst staying as a guest there that Grose met Robert Burns, then farming at nearby Ellisland. Burns wrote Tam O’Shanter for Grose’s work where it was first published, accompanying a view of Alloway Church.
