A PORTRAIT OF COMPASSION: The Duchess of Abercorn, who died on 10 December 2018-Royal News
Having lunch around their kitchen table with the Duchess of Abercorn (‘Do call me Sacha’) and the Duke (‘James is fine’) was as informal and warm as the couple themselves. That they have close connections with the Queen and Prince Philip, and come from old and complex nobility, gave them no airs or graces. I had been interviewing the Duchess in the comfortable library at their home, Baronscourt in Northern Ireland, where I admired a painting which turned out to be by her. Typically modest, she dismissed it as insignificant, but the picture was an example of her diverse talents that she used to great effect, particularly in the area where she lived with Duke after their marriage. Before she met James, then the Marquis of Hamilton, in 1965 she had never been to Ireland. Staying with fri...

Hornby Model Railway Trainset Layout Part 11 Sculpting Landscape with Kingspan Insulation Foam
With the arrival of winter and the departure of my eldest daughter to university what began as a joke - replacing Eloise with my old train set from the loft - became the winter project for Abigail and I. The task of building a bedroom model railway. Like any railway, it will be a journey - it will begin slowly, with brainstorming, introductory stuff and the baseboard, before picking up speed with the build, landscaping and scenery diorama before cruising along into operation and, well, general play! My first train set was a Christmas present in 1980 or 1981. The OO Gauge Hornby R535 GWR Freight Set from God's Wonderful Railway, the Great Western Railway, was a small layout with a GWR 101 0-4-0 locomotive and a few trucks played with on the carpet or a table then put away.

Coo Palace holiday complex near Borgue to be officially opened by Duke of Abercorn in March
The Coo Palace holiday complex near Borgue will be officially opened next month. James Hamilton, the Duke of Abercorn, will cut the ribbon on the Carrick shore landmark on March 26. The Holiday Property Bond (HPB) has created 26 luxury accommodation units at the eye-catching former dairy steading at Corseyard Farm. Borgue Community Council welcomed the jobs boost provided by the £10 million restoration. Chairman John Shields said: “Local contractors were employed to do the work. And the manager and staff were all recruited very locally. “The main thing is that this has stopped the building from falling down. We are all supportive, not just the community council but the local community. It has been good for the area in general.” Mr Shields added: “There has been a little bit of extra...

Having lunch around their kitchen table with the Duchess of Abercorn (‘Do call me Sacha’) and the Duke (‘James is fine’) was as informal and warm as the couple themselves.

I had been interviewing the Duchess in the comfortable library at their home, Baronscourt in Northern Ireland, where I admired a painting which turned out to be by her. Typically modest, she dismissed it as insignificant, but the picture was an example of her diverse talents that she used to great effect, particularly in the area where she lived with Duke after their marriage. Before she met James, then the Marquis of Hamilton, in 1965 she had never been to Ireland. Staying with friends on Islay in the Hebrides, she would look across to ‘a shape in the mist’ which she thought looked fascinating. ‘Little did I know a major part of my life would be here and all we’ve lived through over these years. ’.They married in October 1966, in Westminster Abbey. The Queen and Prince Philip attended, as did her godmother, Princess Marina. The Queen Mother was there too, because Sacha’s mother-in-law, Kathleen Abercorn, was her Mistress of the Robes and they were great friends. Prince Andrew, aged six, was one of her pages. Her husband’s great-great grandmother, Louise, was the matriarch of a huge dynasty whose descendants include Princes William and Harry. Sacha was born Alexandra Anastasia Phillips in 1946 in Tuscon, Arizona, where her part-Peruvian father, Lt-Col. Harold ‘Bunnie’ Phillips, was recovering from tuberculosis, after working in South America in counter-espionage. Before he married, the handsome, clever, and dashing Bunnie had previously enjoyed a relationship with Edwina, wife of Lord Louis Mountbatten, who tolerated the affair because it made her ‘easier to be around,’ said Pamela Hicks (née Mountbatten) of her mother. Through her mother Georgina (‘Gina’), née Wernher, Sacha was one of the Romanov family, a great-great-great granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. She was also a great-great-great granddaughter of the legendary Russian poet, Alexander Pushkin. Sacha’s maternal grandmother was born Countess Anastasia Mikhailovna de Torby, known as Zia, a daughter of Grand Duke Michael of Russia. She and her siblings were born in Baden Baden in Germany because their parents’ marriage was morganatic so they had to leave Russia. After the Revolution in 1917, the family gradually established themselves in Britain with help from George V. Sacha’s grandmother Zia married the fabulously wealthy Sir Harold Wernher and had three children: Gina (later Lady Kennard), Myra (now Lady Butter) and Alex, a good friend of Prince Philip, who was killed in World War II. ‘I have a very eclectic mix of blood which, like a chameleon, helps you to fit in anywhere!’ Sacha said.

With the arrival of winter and the departure of my eldest daughter to university what began as a joke - replacing Eloise with my old train set from the loft - became the winter project for Abigail and I. The task of building a bedroom model railway. Like any railway, it will be a journey - it will begin slowly, with brainstorming, introductory stuff and the baseboard, before picking up speed with the build, landscaping and scenery diorama before cruising along into operation and, well, general play! My first train set was a Christmas present in 1980 or 1981. The OO Gauge Hornby R535 GWR Freight Set from God's Wonderful Railway, the Great Western Railway, was a small layout with a GWR 101 0-4-0 locomotive and a few trucks played with on the carpet or a table then put away. It was great fun! Later, the addition of an R052 LMS Fowler 3F Jinty 0-6-0T 16440 Tank Engine which was faster and noisier (bought for a fiver!) led to a bit more track and a permanent layout on chipboard that was stored under the bed and also allowed me to put my airfix model aeroplanes on too! These would regularly attack the trains with marble bombs or provide air support for toy soldiers which also attacked with the aim of causing derailments, crashes etc. Fun times! Then, a wonderful christmas present was received. It looked so beautiful in the catalogue and my parents hunted high and low as it was out of stock or discontinued - the Hornby R305 LMS 8P No.6234 Duchess of Abercorn, 4-6-2 (Pacific) Princess Coronation (Duchess) Class was unwrapped from under the tree, my main present for the year. Gorgeous it was and it's still my favourite. Then I discovered girls and everything was boxed up and put away until I wanted to do something with my own daughters and set up a few boards in the loft and bought a bunch more LMS locomotives, carriages, trucks and coaches, scenic bits and buildings and built a large two layer, seven track circuit in the loft at my first house which I never landscaped but ran from time to time before moving house to somewhere with no suitable space. By this time I had added the LMS R859 Princess Royal 4-6-2 6201 Princess Elizabeth, R066 4-6-2 Duchess of Sutherland 6233, R357 4-6-0 Patriot 5541 Duke of Sutherland, R055 Class 4P 2-6-4 Fowler Tank 2300, a Jinty in better condition (less crashed and abused!) R376 4-4-0 4P Compound 1000 and Hornby R859 4-6-0 Stanier Class 5 4657. These have been in a display cabinet on the wall of my lounge for five years without moving...but theirs is the resurrection and the life! So, Toot Toot! Choo Choo! The train departing from Platform Bedroom will be departing shortly - all aboard for this wonderful journey back in time to childhood and nostalgia!

The OO Gauge Hornby R535 GWR Freight Set from God's Wonderful Railway, the Great Western Railway, was a small layout with a GWR 101 0-4-0 locomotive and a few trucks played with on the carpet or a table then put away. It was great fun! Later, the addition of an R052 LMS Fowler 3F Jinty 0-6-0T 16440 Tank Engine which was faster and noisier (bought for a fiver!) led to a bit more track and a permanent layout on chipboard that was stored under the bed and also allowed me to put my airfix model aeroplanes on too! These would regularly attack the trains with marble bombs or provide air support for toy soldiers which also attacked with the aim of causing derailments, crashes etc. Fun times! Then, a wonderful christmas present was received. It looked so beautiful in the catalogue and my parents hunted high and low as it was out of stock or discontinued - the Hornby R305 LMS 8P No.6234 Duchess of Abercorn, 4-6-2 (Pacific) Princess Coronation (Duchess) Class was unwrapped from under the tree, my main present for the year. Gorgeous it was and it's still my favourite. Then I discovered girls and everything was boxed up and put away until I wanted to do something with my own daughters and set up a few boards in the loft and bought a bunch more LMS locomotives, carriages, trucks and coaches, scenic bits and buildings and built a large two layer, seven track circuit in the loft at my first house which I never landscaped but ran from time to time before moving house to somewhere with no suitable space. By this time I had added the LMS R859 Princess Royal 4-6-2 6201 Princess Elizabeth, R066 4-6-2 Duchess of Sutherland 6233, R357 4-6-0 Patriot 5541 Duke of Sutherland, R055 Class 4P 2-6-4 Fowler Tank 2300, a Jinty in better condition (less crashed and abused!) R376 4-4-0 4P Compound 1000 and Hornby R859 4-6-0 Stanier Class 5 4657. These have been in a display cabinet on the wall of my lounge for five years without moving...but theirs is the resurrection and the life! So, Toot Toot! Choo Choo! The train departing from Platform Bedroom will be departing shortly - all aboard for this wonderful journey back in time to childhood and nostalgia!

The Coo Palace holiday complex near Borgue will be officially opened next month. James Hamilton, the Duke of Abercorn, will cut the ribbon on the Carrick shore landmark on March 26. The Holiday Property Bond (HPB) has created 26 luxury accommodation units at the eye-catching former dairy steading at Corseyard Farm. Borgue Community Council welcomed the jobs boost provided by the £10 million restoration. Chairman John Shields said: “Local contractors were employed to do the work. And the manager and staff were all recruited very locally. “The main thing is that this has stopped the building from falling down. We are all supportive, not just the community council but the local community. It has been good for the area in general.” Mr Shields added: “There has been a little bit of extra traffic. But it is a lot less now than when building was going on. It’s no big deal.” The mock-baronial dairy – designed to look like a castle – was completed in 1914 by eccentric Manchester millionaire James Brown. It originally housed his 12 prize Belted Galloway “coos” and featured a water tower with mock turrets. The A-listed building was placed on Historic Scotland’s Buildings at Risk register in 1991 after becoming derelict. HPB chairman Geoffrey Baber was delighted the project had saved the building and created jobs. He said: “At a cost of over £10million, HPB has lovingly and sympathetically rescued and restored Coo Palace. “The Holiday Property Bond is thrilled to have been in a position to not only save it but give it a new lease of life for future generations to enjoy, along with the opportunity to support the local economy by creating direct and indirect employment for this unspoilt and truly beautiful corner of Galloway.” The Duke, a former Ulster Unionist MP for Femanagh and South Tyrone, said: “The Coo Palace is a unique Grade A building which had fallen into total dereliction. “Its location in coastal Galloway is exceptional and The Holiday Property Bond has had the imagination and courage to restore it as a luxury holiday complex which I look forward to opening on the 26th March.” Coo Palace holiday complex near Borgue to be officially opened by Duke of Abercorn in March
