This was originally used by Alexander Reid, one of the most influential art dealers in Europe in the early 20^th century.

William Leiper designed many impressive properties in Helensburgh including his own house, Terpersie, where he lived for forty years until his death. This authoritative celebration of the life and work of William Leiper (1839-1916) will focus on his career as a city architect.
