Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, granted the lands her in the early 14th century, to his nephew William de Moravia, ancestor of the Murrays of Cockpool. The construction has been attributed to Cuthbert of Cockpool , died 1493, in the later part of the 15th century. However a licence to build was granted to his son John Murray, died c.1527, in around 1500. The castle was certainly present in 1508, when it is mentioned in documents creating the Barony of Cockpool for John Murray. Descendants of the Murrays were later created Viscounts Stormont in 1621, and Earls of Mansfield in 1776. Clan Murray is a major historic Scottish clan originating from the 12th century Flemish knight Freskin, whose descendants took the name de Moravia, from the province of Moray, which later evolved into Murray.
