Stobhall facts for kids
Stobhall (or Stobhall Castle) is a country house and estate in Perthshire in Scotland, 8 miles (13 km) from Perth. The 17th-century dower house and several other buildings are Category A-listed with Historic Environment Scotland.
The lands at Stobhall have been in the hands of the Drummond family, the Earls of Perth, since the 14th century. Stobhall Castle was the ancestral seat of the Drummonds, a stronghold of Roman Catholicism in Scotland after the English Reformation, the Drummonds being staunch Roman Catholic recusants. It is one of two castles (the other is Drummond Castle) traditionally associated with the family.
In 2012, a number of items from the house were auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh, raising over £900,000; the heir apparent James David Drummond, Viscount of Strathallan (son of John Eric Drummond, 18th Earl of Perth and grandson of the 17th Earl) decided to move to London.
