Not the landlord of the Buccleuch Arms place then.
Bowhill House & Grounds的点评
点评：One of the homes of the Duke of Buccleuch, as you would expect, it is an interesting example of its kind. Guided tours need to be booked in advance, with timed starts, so it was unfortunate that some people arrived as the party had finished the introductory chat outside the door when latecomers arrived.
As might be expected, you are told (several times) not to touch 'anything' as 'everything' is alarmed, and no photography. When this had been gone through again, even more latecomers turned up, and - you guessed.
However, the house is of interest, the decor somewhat gaudy, and overly furnished with French furniture for my taste, though the boulle cabinets scattered about are of outstanding workmanship. One cabinet would be enough to show off, a pair Is being greedy, and there are several pairs as you are conducted around the ground floor.
Much emphasis is placed by the guides on the artworks, which contain many of the most expensive artists work, evidence of past generations taking an interest in the finest workmanship to be had in its day.
Apart from the catalogue of possessions, though there was little said about the influence of the previous generations on the lives of their subjects, or the source of their wealth. More particularly, I felt more could have been made of the beneficent activities of the current Duke and family, and how they now fit into the ruling classes and government of their country. Scottish Lairds as a group have a historical reputation for self interest, and I felt that some of this history could have been confronted rather than confirmed.
The landscape tour was more forthcoming, with an enthusiastic guide who was knowledgeable and supportive of this century's activities of the estate, the wildlife, and regeneration.
The current complement of 4 gardeners must work a good shift to keep so much in a managed condition. I doff my cap to them, and did so to a lone gardener we came across in a flowerbed.

翻译：正如您所料，它是巴克卢公爵的宅邸之一，是同类中的一个有趣的例子。导赏团需要提前预约，定时开始，所以很遗憾，当迟到者到达时，一行人已经在门外进行了介绍性的聊天，所以有些人到达了。
正如所预料的那样，你被告知（多次）不要碰“任何东西”，因为“一切”都受到惊吓，并且禁止拍照。当这一切再次发生时，更多的迟到者出现了，而且——你猜对了。
不过，这所房子很有趣，装饰有点俗气，而且按照我的口味，布置的法式家具过多，尽管散落的布勒橱柜做工出色。一个柜子就足够炫耀了，一对就很贪婪了，当你在底层引导时，有几对。
指南非常重视艺术品，其中包含许多最昂贵的艺术家作品，这证明了过去几代人对当今最精美的工艺感兴趣。
除了财产目录外，几乎没有提及前几代人对其臣民生活的影响或他们的财富来源。更具体地说，我觉得现任公爵和家族的慈善活动以及他们现在如何融入国家的统治阶级和政府，可以做更多的事情。苏格兰领主作为一个群体在历史上享有自私自利的声誉，我觉得其中一些历史本可以面对而不是得到证实。
景观之旅更加热情，有一位热情的导游，他知识渊博，并且支持本世纪的庄园、野生动物和重建活动。
目前的 4 名园丁必须做好轮班工作，才能使这么多园丁处于受管理的状态。我向他们脱下了帽子，也向我们在花坛里遇到的一位孤独的园丁脱下了帽子。
