This Bath House was constructed for Queen Mary. It is the cutest small castle like structure you could ever imagine. It looked for all the world like a cubby-house for royal children from that era!
I love this teeny building. This is the history of it:
"This little turreted structure is supposedly where Mary, Queen of Scots, used to bathe in sweet white wine.
However, it is more probable that the curious building was used as a summer pavilion or dovecot. It was once attached to a bourdary wall, enclosing the King's Privy Garden and the Royals would most likely would have used it as summer house."
There is a craze here for structures called "tiny houses". And they are just what the name proclaims- houses that are really quite tiny but people build them and take pride in the fact that they can live so minimally. Looks like this is the royal version of that!
@jgpittenger Hi Jane - thanks for your suggestion - and I can see what you are seeing - now that I look at it. I could have fixed it quite easily too - if I'd known to look for it! Many thanks - I'll keep the concept in mind for the future. Cheers Rob :0
@casablanca Oh Casablanca - you are a doll!! Thanks so much for going to the bother of giving us more details about the history of this! It was just so cute!! Many thanks :)
@olivetreeann LOL - the royal version of "tiny houses". Those little tiny houses have taken off in Australia too - but they are very expensive for their size. Also very cute too though... :)

Wonderful little thing, isn't it?
