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?

  • I have a DO Hill Drawing of Wooers Alley the house shown here.  I was able to identify the subject of the Drawing from this Stereoscopic  Photo so thank you for putting it on the site.  As to whether DO Hill made any I can throw no light.  The Patons are a very interesting family with Neil, the father being a renowned Textile Designer and all the children being artists
