Brava, Susannah. We do need to know the history of these houses. I like that Kenwood House (near me) gives its history, whereas Floors castle in the Borders simply asks you to admire the place and the laird whose family has owned it for centuries. Open to the public for the upkeep of the place, but why does the laird (who walked past us in typical aristocratic shabby clothes) own it at all?

Wow. Talk about ‘nice but dim’; and the Holkam Hall specimen? Shallow end of the gene pool, poor beggar.
