Amhuinnsuidhe was designed in the Scottish baronial style by architect David Bryce. In 1874, Charles Adolphus Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore, was appointed a Lord-in-Waiting in Disraeli's government, a post he held until 1880. In 1875 he was made Lord Lieutenant of Stirlingshire, which he remained until 1885. In 1882 he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the 1st Inverness-shire Rifle Volunteers, later the 1st Volunteer Battalion, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. He retired in 1896 and died on the 27th of August 1907.
