The Pineapple Dunsmore house near Falkirk Scotland view 1080p or 4K

John Murray the 4th Earl of Dunmore, left his ancestral home in Scotland and arrived in Virginia just at the beginning of the American Revolution. He returned to Scotland in 1776, as the last English Governor of Virginia. After Dunmore's return he set about converting the original garden house by building a Palladium-style lower story building. The Pineapple is, effectively a symbol of hospitality, as returning sailors would place a pineapple on gateposts, as proof of distant travels. Some consider this style of architect eccentric to say the least, but it is exceptional masonry work, but the architect in unknown. The property is now in care of the NTS and is also available to members of the public for overnight stays.
