The Nurseries
The old family nurseries now house a large collection of Edwardian, Victorian and even Georgian toys. Many of these are from Thirlestane, but the majority are from the collection of the late Mrs Marguerite Fawdry, owner of the Pollock's Toy Museum in London. The opportunity to acquire these toys on loan arose in 1986. They help to maintain an interesting balance for visitors to Thirlestane, and are especially appreciated by our younger visitors!
