Background
History
In 1596 the lands of Aberuchill were granted to the Campbell family of Lawers. Aberuchill was 'burned down' in a suffragette attack on 4 February 1914, and the castle's servants were fortunate to escape. Aberuchill Castle was inherited by William Mostyn-Owen on the death of his father in 1947, and he was living there in "23 rooms or so" of one wing with his wife, the Italian writer Gaia Servadio, in 1968, but eventually sold it. The estate was sold by the Dewhursts in the 1980s,
