The Graeme Park Commonplace Book: Happy 275th Birthday Liz!

A Commonplace Book was a journal with a theme. They could be filled with recipes, quotes, letters, or poems and could be original musings, or copies of things the writer wanted to preserve. Each was unique and meant to be read by others.

Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson, noted 18th century writer, poet, and mistress of Graeme Park, kept Commonplace Books throughout her life. Blogs, a sort of 21st century Commonplace Book, seem natural to keep readers informed of what’s new (and old) at Graeme Park.

Enjoy!
