W Magazine has sent me a link to their excellent article, including an interview, with Lady Dufferin at Clandeboye Estate in County Down. It is dated the 9th February, 2009.
It provides the reader with a fascinating insight into Lindy Dufferin's lifestyle in London and at Clandeboye, probably the finest private country estate in County Down (not to mention Ballywalter Park!).
Lindy Dufferin's mother-in-law was Maureen, Dowager Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, who had homes at Hans Crescent, London; the Owl House, Lamberhurst in Kent; and on the island of Sardinia.
Another link you will appreciate, from my local paper...

I just remembered about this extraordinary little house that used to be in Conlig and was part of the Clandeboye estate, I understand it was known as 'Little Clandeboye' and not Conlig House as stated in the link: http://www.graytrees.com/ConligHouse.html
