Geocache Description:


Placed in an abandoned bit of land, near the old st aidans. house.

St Aidans was built in the 1820s by Sir Adam Ferguson, a close friend of Sir Walter Scott, and then expanded upon by George Bainbridge. The house had several owners throughout the 19th century until finally becoming the headquarters of The Brothers of Charity some time in 1921. The Brothers converted the house into a care home and orphanage as well as building the adjoining Chapel. The place was left in 2009, but is still owned by the Brothers. Inside it is in reasonably good condition (by my inexperienced standards), however a few of the rooms have suffered large damage.
