Thomas Carlyle's Birthplace

Dumfriesshire

About

Thomas Carlyle was a Scottish historian, satirist, essayist, philosopher, mathematician, and teacher of the 19th century. 
The modest appearance of this small house in Ecclefechan near Lockerbie conceals its significance in Scottish history. Since it was first public opened in 1881, the vaulted house has hardly been conserved.
