 | This was Kenneth and Agnes McKenzie's bedroom. They were married in Haddingtonshire in Scotland's East Lothian area, southeast of Edinburgh. |
| Eight children were born to Kenneth and Agnes, but only the youngest two were born at Craigflower Farm. The oldest were born in Scotland. |  |
| This room has some interesting details. The corner Fireplace was important to heat the room. |  |  |
 |  | The Dressing Table (reputed to have belonged to Robert Weir, one of McKenzie's workers) holds a Hand-braided watch fob. |
| Women would collect strands of their own and their loved one's hair, then weave them together to form a chain. The chain was made into bracelets and other precious keepsakes. This fob was made by Agnes McKenzie and given to her nephew Alexander Watson. |  |
 | Such special gifts were often given to one's love interest. It is said that men from the royal Navy, in receiving such a gift, would carve up a small piece of whalebone with inscriptions and present it to their secret admirers. The ladies would use it as a bone in their corset! What kind of love keepsakes do we make and give today? |
| Then there is Kenneth McKenzie's Top hat and hat case. On the floor are ceramic "Piggies", used as bed warmers. |  |  |
