In 1790, renowned Scottish architects Robert and James Adam designed this house in the Carse of Gowrie, a 20 mile stretch of fertile land on the north shore of the Firth of Tay between Perth and Dundee, for estate owner Thomas Hunter. The son of William Adam, the foremost Scottish architect of his time, Robert Adam and his brother James designed some of Scotland’s most beautiful buildings, including Edinburgh University’s Old College, the Royal Exchange in Edinburgh, Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Fort George in the Highlands. The site itself was originally home to an old tower house. In 1728, Amelia Murray, heiress of Glencarse, married Jacobite leader Lord George Murray, before the property was later sold and replaced by the current mansion. Around 1840, the estate was acquired by Thomas Greig of Leven. A notable local benefactor, Greig funded local public infrastructure, built the Greig Institute, and gifted the land for All Saints' Episcopal Church in 1878.
