Torr Aluinn and Hoop House, Dunoon: A Refreshing Escape for Children from Quarriers Orphan Homes This charming photograph captures the essence of a joyful moment in time, as children from Quarriers Orphan Homes of Scotland enjoy their holiday at Torr Aluinn and Hoop House in Dunoon. Circa 1920, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the idyllic setting that provided respite and relaxation for these young lives. Located in the picturesque town of Dunoon, in Renfrewshire, Scotland, Torr Aluinn and Hoop House served as holiday homes for children from the Quarriers Orphan Homes of Bridge of Weir. The image reveals a group of children, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered around a table in the sunlit Hoop House, likely enjoying a meal together. The Torr Aluinn mansion, with its grandeur and stunning views of the Firth of Clyde, can be seen in the background. The Quarriers Orphan Homes, founded in 1873, aimed to provide social care and support for children in need. Holidays and outings were essential components of their care, offering opportunities for children to experience joy, adventure, and a sense of normalcy outside the confines of their daily lives. Torr Aluinn and Hoop House, with their beautiful surroundings and welcoming atmosphere, provided the perfect setting for these cherished memories. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of care, community, and the power of a simple holiday to bring happiness and hope to children's lives. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of Quarriers and their commitment to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
