Tour Scotland Photograph Video Rossie House Forgandenny Perthshire

Tour Scotland photograph of Rossie House by Forgandenny, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish house was originally built by the Oliphants in 1657.

The Oliphant surname has been the subject of much controversy regarding its origins; however, the accepted explanation is that the name is of Old French origin, introduced into England, and later, Scotland, after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name was established early in Scotland, by a family of Norman origin who settled first in Northamptonshire and Hampshire, David Olifard, godson of David 1 of Scotland, being the first recorded namebearer; he was granted lands in Roxburghshire.
