Dounside House

The house is another great legacy of Lady MacRobert's whose final resting place ISTR is in the grounds by a big old oak tree.

She also contributed towards 4 x fighters according to Time magazine:

Lady MacRobert took out her pen and checkbook again. She sent Sir Archibald Sinclair £20,000 to purchase four fighter planes for use "on fronts where they could aid Russia." She asked that three of the planes be named for her sons, that the fourth be called "MacRobert Salute to Russia (Lady)." "Had I been a man, I, too would have flown," said gallant Lady MacRobert.
