Bowerswell, Bowerswell Road, Perth

About

Bowerswell (formerly known as Whistlecroft) is an early-19th-century house on Bowerswell Road, Kinnoull, Scotland. It is a Grade B listed building and was the childhood home of Effie Gray; she and John Ruskin were married there in 1848. After World War II, the house and surrounding grounds were purchased by Perth Council as a "living" war memorial; the house and 20 cottages in the grounds serve as sheltered housing. The City of Perth Book of Remembrance for WW2 is housed in the building.
