Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

Here is the description of the bedroom at Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute. Unfortunately the desciption is flawed by thye jumbling of astronomy and astrology and even the use of the term horoscope:

The Horoscope Room
A marvellously eccentric room, the Horoscope Room and Conservatory was once the 3rd Marquess’s sitting room.

The room takes its name from the astrological ceiling which shows the exact position of the planets at the time of his birth of 12th September 1847. The original design on canvas, complete with tissue paper stars and planets, was very badly damaged and in the 1980s Tom Errington was commissioned to paint a replica onto the ceiling. This copy is exact in every way save for the addition of Pluto, which had yet to be discovered when the original had been painted 100 years earlier.

A fascinating insight into the tastes of the 3rd Marquess, the room also features a frieze of miniature castles and brightly coloured exotic birds and flowers.
