Did you know
In the past opium was used for treating a range of medical conditions as well as for use as a pigment dye in textiles and wallpaper production. At Duff House there is a portrait of the author Thomas de Quincey, who wrote Confessions of an English Opium-Eater in 1822. De Quincey used opium as a student when the drug was legal and cheaply available at any 'druggist'. Despite his reputation as a writer, Dr Quincey's drug use and eccentricity resulted in ill health, financial troubles and prosecution for debt.
