Halton House is eight miles
to the west of Edinburgh, a combination of an old Scottish
baronial house and Scoto-French chateau, with later additions in
the Renaissance style, but by 1876 had lost some of its former
glory.
The light was weak, requiring
exposures from ten to thirty minutes, during which one of the
party told stories to the photographers.

April 1877
The
first Outdoor Meeting of the Season took place at Cadzow Forest
near Hamilton on Thursday 12 April and was perhaps the most
successful that our Society has ever had, there being thirteen
cameras in the field and 100 plates exposed.
Contrary
to normal practice there was a good number of different
processes and most of the apparatus was of a very superior
description (thanks to the late exhibition).
John Nicol commented on the
photographs taken during this Outdoor Meeting in his
Notes for the North, published in the British Journal of
Photography.

The
weather not very favourable for photographic work, but a goodly
number of plates were exposed
The British
Journal of Photography reported:
"The place of rendezvous, the
Mound, was left at 9.25, but by a misunderstanding on the part
of the driver, the party was driven to near Ormiston, and the
place of destination was not reached till considerably after
midday.
This, however, as it turned
out, was not a matter for regret, as the drive through a
district altogether new to those present was very beautiful and
much enjoyed.
NOTE:
Ormiston is about 10
miles east of Edinburgh.
Arniston is about 10
miles south-east of Edinburgh
