BIRKWOOD CASTLE

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing Birkwood Castle. This is the 23rd building for my English Collection!

I decorated some of the house ground floor, for reference.

History of the house: 

Birkwood Castle, also known as Birkwood House, is a Gothic country house situated in Lesmahagow, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Built in the 18th century, it was greatly expanded by the McKirdy family. In 1920 it was purchased by the local authority for use as a hospital.

Birkwood Castle was built in the late 18th century, and the original villa now forms the north wing of the house. It was greatly expanded in the Gothic style in 1858, and again in 1890 when the architect James Thomson of Glasgow designed the large west wing.

21. Urban legend from your town, FitzSimmons, M or E please (thank you for inviting me to prompt you on that review I left on Scotish-Weekend - it totally made my day! ❤️❤️)

A Blessed CursePairing: FitzSimmonsRated E, 6100 wordsSummary: When Jemma inherits a bit of land in the nicest part of Edinburgh, she sees it as an opportunity for a change of scenery. But finding an architect who will agree to build something on what is supposed to be a cursed land turns out to be more complicated than she expected.Written for @aosficnet2‘s Promptober.A big thank you to @libbyweasley for being a fantastic beta as always <3 There’s no lack of mysterious legends in Paris but I needed to find one that’s not too famous or too gruesome and would fit FitzSimmons. So I had quite a lot of fun delving into the history of my city and finally found this :) Hope you enjoy! "So, will you help me?"

"Absolutely not," he replied, leaning back into his chair and Jemma's hopeful smile vanished."But you have to!"

"I really don’t think so, Miss Simmons."

"Doctor," she corrected, out of habit more than anything, before continuing. "But no one else will and you're an architect and it's your job to build houses. If you don't build me one, I'll be homeless and it's against the architect's oath to let people be homeless."He raised his eyebrows as a small amused smile pulled his lips up and she had to force herself not to glare at him."Wow. I have to admit you really do sound desperate."That last statement was true at least. If she couldn't convince him to work for her, she'd just have to admit defeat or, well, study architecture and do it herself. But that would probably take too long anyway.When Jemma had first received the mysterious letter telling her she'd inherited a bit of naked land in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, she simply thought it was a prank. But after checking with her mum and the lawyer who sent it, she learned that her family indeed owned it. Her job in New York not being up to her expectations and her last relationship having ended rather badly, Jemma had decided that it was a sign, or well most likely a rather fortunate coincidence and decided to look for a job in Edinburgh and have a house built on that bit of land. The change of scenery would be most welcome. Of course, knowing what she knew now, she wished she'd taken a little more time to think about it. But to be fair, she would have never believed people gave so much importance to a simple urban legend anyway. Which was why she was the one who inherited the land after all. She had the reputation of being a brilliant scientist and highly skeptical, so if anyone could do anything with this supposed cursed bit of land, it was her.It was said that the place was cursed by a mysterious man (most likely a member of the Romani people from the different versions of the story Jemma had read) after the former owner threw him out after he flirted with his wife. The owner's dog died of a strange illness and his master soon after. An unfortunate coincidence obviously. The house was abandoned after that and when, decades later, Jemma's great grandfather decided to tear it down and rebuild a new house tried, all the workers died of the same strange illness. The land remained naked and Jemma's family could never sell it, even for a small price. Read the rest on AO3
