A All that remained of the 18th century homestead were roughhewn timbers and handmade clay bricks. The pegged boards and fragile bricks harvested from the Scotland County site are embedded in a double fireplace that warms the family room and kitchen at Knapdale, now the ancestral home of a new genera-tion of Scots. The relic architectural artifacts resonate with family heritage, adding soul to the neo-Classical Greek Revival mansion. Sited upon a treed enclave in a private estate on the water, the grounds have been opened to the public on numerous occasions. The home radiates with hospitality all year long, but espe-cially during Christmas, a time of tradition, sharing, family and love. The rigid lines of the neoclassical mansion belie the exuberant expression of the Christmas season at Knapdale. Flanking the main entrance, toy soldiers herald the season of sharing. 57 www.wrightsvillebeachmagazine.com WBM
