SweetDreames42 Hello....I am researching my family line of MATHESON & in my research I have yet to find a castle that was occupied by them. I have learned John Matheson was constable of Eilean Donan but as far as the clan occupying any particular one, I cannot find any information relative to this. Can anyone help?
Regards,
SweetDreames42
Gordon Clan Mathieson held Ardross Castle, which they gained from the Munros. In 1880 it passed to the Perrins family who incorproated the old castle within a mansion which still exists. One of the Perrins family was connected to the Lea and Perrins company who produce the world famous Worcester Sauce.
The mansion stands 4.5 miles south of Alness just north of the River Averon, in Highland Region.
