Old Photographs Drumkilbo House Scotland
Old photograph of Drumkilbo House near Meigle, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house is located on the edge of the village of Meigle, about ten miles east of Blairgowrie, and adjacent to the estate of Glamis Castle. The first recorded owner of Drumkilbo was Robert the Bruce; he passed it to his liegeman Morice de Tiry in about 1300. For 300 years it was the home of the Tyree family, including Jesuit theologian James Tyrie, born 1543, died 1597, and Sir Thomas Tyree, race horse owner and associate of Charles I of England. In 1650 it became the property of the Nairne family. Lord Wharncliffe purchased Drumkilbo in about 1851; he sold it to Edward Cox in 1900. The Cox family at that time were the leading proprietors of the jute industry in Dundee. In 1951 Drumkilbo was sold to the 17th Lord Elphinstone, whose nephew inherited it in 1975, and sold off much of the estate in 1984.
