William Mure of Caldwell, 1764
Our fifteen minutes of fame this week come in the form of a credit on a TV programme! Look out for the image of William Mure of Caldwell (1718 - 1775), from our archive, in Channel 4’s second series of ‘Restoration Man’.
The programme, that follows George Clarke’s mission to rescue neglected architectural treasures across Britain, credits us for the use of the image of William Mure, the Scottish lawyer and politician. Mure was a close friend of the philosopher David Hume and the politician John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. He was an improving landowner, and in 1773 commissioned Robert Adam to design a new home for his family.
Tune in tonight at 9pm on Channel 4 to learn more!
