William Thomson House
Built in 1848 by the eighth child of Scarborough's first settlers, David and Mary Thomson, natives of Dumfriesshire, Scotland, who came to Canada in 1795 and made their home in a log cabin in the forest in the valley below this spot in 1796. Their great granddaughter Dr. Isabella M. Davidson, became the first Scarborough women to graduate in medicine in 1902; and after serving as a doctor in India for forty years she made her home here until her death at the age of 96 in 1970.
