British photographic history

Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history

Did David Octavius Hill take stereoviews?

I have a stereo of Dunfermline showing the Paton family in front of their house in Wooers Alley. DO Hill corresponded with Joseph Neil Paton and married one of the daughters, Amelia.

Could this be an image by DO Hill of his in-laws to be? Is there any evidence that he took stereoviews? I know that post-Adamson he worked with McGlashon for a while, who was a stereophotographer, but did Hill also catch the stereoscopic bug?
