Oh how cool is that!! :D

At first I was like...hmmm...what's so special about this house? I mean, it's a well-composed shot. The house is pretty enough and I love how the tree's branches obscure a part of the house. But when I read the text, it all hit home. How cool to see this man's home. It is always very thought-provoking to look at a famous person's home (or something they are famous for) and picture their accomplishment and what they have meant for us. Nice. :) Thank you for the information!

Yes, Janet, this was the Reverend John Baird's house. This is where his son, John Logie Baird, grew up, and went on later to be a pioneer of television. Thanks for your very kind comment. All the best, Joe

A typical Scottish House, Joe. I wonder how J.L.B. would feel if he saw the clutter of TV aerials and satellite dishes everywhere?

I remember this house from the Panoramio days Joe. It's an attractive house and nice colour stone. What would we do without his wonderful invention! I do agree with Amelia about the clutter though. I hardy watch anything other than the old channels and BBC4! An excellent shot. Cheers, Rosa.
