The Borthwick family were based at Borthwick Castle in Midlothian and were descendents of a Livonian Knight, Andreas Burtick, who was attached to the Court of Hungary. This small collection appears to be the papers of Borthwick relatives living in London and the surrounding area. It consists of correspondence regarding claims made by these southern Borthwick's to the Borthwick peerage in the early 19th century, notes and extracts on the ancient Borthwick lineage, photographs of Borthwick Castle taken by an Edinburgh photographer and sent to London in the early 20th century, and other miscellaneous family papers. |
