- Scatter Penny circa 1910. The woman in the doorway is Josephine's Grandmother.
- The modern Scatter Penny. The house was in use by a family of Elliotts for a period of at least 50 years. from the early 1900's on. The Elliott Clan was associated with Castle Howard from the early 1800's. One Isaac Elliot from the extended Elliot(t) clan, as well as his sons Robert and Isaac, were Gamekeepers/Gillies at Castle Howard. Isaac Elliot Sr. being listed as Head Gamekeeper. This is noted in cenuses and the Will of Isaac Elliot(t). The Elliotts and extended families, have been associated with the castle until the present, not always carrying the Elliott name...Isaac and his wife are buried in Bulmer Village Churchyard, as well as the line of Elliotts associated with Bulmer village. These Elliotts, enmasse, originated in Scotland proper, were brought down to the borders of Scotland, as a noted fighting clan, to protect the border and were dispersed during the clearances. They then settled in Cumbria, and came down to Yorkshire in the late 1700's or early 1800's. [Josephine Laxton 2011]
