Born #OnThisDay in 1822, at Cumbernauld House, pioneering photographer Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822–65)
You can see some of her portraits in the V&A collection www.vam.ac.uk/articles/lad...
This is a timely question from @oneplacestudies.bsky.social as we have recently published a blog post about Scotland's 1st modern railway, the Monkland & Kirkintilloch, on its bicentenary www.northlanmuseums.co.uk/story/the-mo... #Railway200
Having spent a few years living in Kildrum, I would walk my then dog around Cumbernauld Park, which hosts the house where this wonderful lady was born.
What photographs she produced, truly magical.
