Carlyle's House

Add to

The house is a typical Georgian terraced house, a modestly comfortable home where the Carlyles, Thomas and Jane lived with one servant and Jane's dog, Nero. The house was opened to the public in 1895, just fourteen years after Carlyle's death. It is preserved very much as it was when they lived there. Thomas Carlyle, historian and philosopher and his wife Jane Welsh Carlyle, a prominent woman of letters, moved there from Craigenputtock in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The house is now owned by the National Trust.
