An album of 87 albumen and gelatin silver print cartes-de-visite and cabinet cards of members of the Logan-Home and Seton families, who were related by marriage, and family friends, probably originally compiled by a member of the Seton family. Most of the photographs date from the 1880s but there are a few later additions from the 1930s, as well as a loose postcard photograph and platinum print, a watercolour of a boat, and a flyer advertising the Duke of Buccleuch's hunt ball for 1971. Most of the photographs are captioned in ink.
