In this review of his growing collection of photographs and other illustrative materials, Captain Wimberley makes a passing reference to William Leiper’s work as an architect.

8 Ardross Terrace                                   Inverness                             9 May 1893 Dear Sir,               I duly received yours of 5th, and also the photo. Lith. of the Sun Fire office, which will be a very handsome building : There must be a great deal of work from first to last in the planning & arranging the de- tails of such a work, & probably sometimes as much in adapting alterations desired or necessi- tated by unforeseen difficulties arising connected with the site or the objections of neighbours to height of new building, (& crocludes?) of light &c – as one of Trustees in the care of town buildings.     I send you the pen & ink sketch my niece made of Invercraigie Castle from a photo : and also 2 photos of the Castle. I have not had any printed off yet.     I was sorry to find when I got back the photos. I had sent to my niece that the one of Ravenscraig was about the prettiest of the lot. I had confused it with another photo. & thought it merely showed the outlines of the building with a large tree or a lot of ivy hiding most of it : so I got a negative taken of the view of the building, given in MacGibbon & Ross’ book – and having done so, I must be content with the block now being taken.     I dare say you will like to see Ravenscraig too.     I must put the photos we have of these old places together into a book.                         Yours very truly                      Douglas Wimberley.
