Clackmannanshire, Scotland There
may have been a tower as early as 1223, but the present structure
was built considerably later. The property was conferred on Sir
Robert Erskine, Great Chamberlain of Scotland, by David Second
in 1360, and has remained with that great family, Earl of Mars,
ever since being created Earl of Mar in 1565. The family were
ever the trusted friends of the Stewart kings, and being Hereditary
Keepers of Stirling Castle nearby, were apt to be the custodian
of the young princes in troubled days. James Sixth spent much
time at Alloa Tower as a child, Johnny Mar being his closest companion. If you would like to visit this area as part of a highly personalized small group tour of my native Scotland please e-mail me: |
