Honi soit qui mal y pense “Shame on him who thinks evil of it” (the motto of the Order of the Garter the highest of all British knighthoods except in Scotland)

The beautiful library at Barnbougle Castle in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This majestic 13th-century castle is one of Scotland's hidden treasures. Situated just outside Edinburgh and within the Dalmeny estate, Barnbougle Castle enjoys spectacular views over the Firth of Forth. Inside is no less impressive - rooms include a sixty-foot-long Banqueting hall and vast Scottish library.

The Primrose family, now Earls of Rosebery, bought the estate in 1662 and have been here ever since.

In the 1880's the 5th Earl turned his attention to Barnbougle and commissioned a design to fit his new life. As a scholar's retreat, it has six libraries and only one bed. As a statesman's study, it has comfortable, welcoming rooms for meetings and conversations. From the balcony he could practice his speeches.

The books cover all subjects from politics, to poetry to classics and geology - all of this used to provide reference for his many speeches.

The castle was entirely reconstructed in 1881 and it's full of history. It was primarily built to house the private library of Archibald Philip Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, the 1st Earl of Midlothian who became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1894.

The beautiful Scottish Library features a selection of picture lights in gold finish, which were installed to light up the book collection as spotlights couldn't be placed in the wooden ceiling.

The Great Hall (once used as a space to practice speeches ahead of delivering them to parliament) features a number of picture lights and spotlights in bronze to ensure that all the rich details in the fabric of the tapestries were brought to life.

The Reading Room includes a selection of classic paintings; picture lights were the perfect choice here striking the right balance between lighting up the artworks and matching the historic setting and feeling of the castle.

Today, although the castle's facilities have been brought up to date, it maintains its original character. It gives the warm feeling that the man who built it for his own use and pleasure has only just stepped out.

Which private library do you prefer? The Hamptons or the Hygge? I’ve always adored the effortless chic of coastal, beachy type interiors but there’s just something about cozy rooms too, especially headed into winter. Still, you could sit me on a pumpkin and as long as I had a book I’d be happy! ❤️📚🤣🤣. . . . . . #library #privatelibrary #hyggehome #hygge #hamptonsstyle #bookstagram #readingnooks #booklife #meandmybooks #reading #booklove #bookworm #booksofig #librariesofig #chooseyourbliss #read247 #booksaremagic #booksaremylife (at Berrinba) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvlwtwsH42t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x6685ppyoxe7

Just received a new flag for the front of #theArchives. Still waiting on the new welcome mat, but who's going to see it if I don't post about it? It's not like I'm running a "public" library... #TheOccultArchives #theoccult #flag #yardflag #bewareofthenight #haunted #hauntedhouse #hauntedhome #privatelibrary #paranormal #paranormalpodcast #podcast #podcastersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CFshsACACiy/?igshid=1k8kv91lob8dz
