Separate Spheres: Life as a Victorian Woman
Daughter, sister, wife, mother, socialite, worker, servant, spinster - words that could define a woman in Victorian Britain. Discover the women of Lauriston who flourished in the Victorian age when strict stereotypes were enforced. Learn about an outlier who forged her own path. See how an upstart girl born into a working-class Edinburgh family changed the course of the castle.
Niamh Lynch is Assistant Steward at Lauriston Castle. She is passionate about sharing women's history at Lauriston and uncovering different narratives.
