During the 1930s members of royalty, including the Prince of Wales with Mrs Simpson, the Duke of York, Princess Marina, Queen Maria of Romania, Alfonso XIII of Spain and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich of Russia were among the Baillies' regular visitors.
Lady Baillie was a lover of the cinema and her guest list during that decade included the film stars Douglas Fairbanks senior and junior, James Stewart, Errol Flynn, Robert Taylor and Charlie Chaplin.
Don't miss out, this is an absolute one-of-a-kind and a true conoisseur piece.
