Scope and Content Duntreath Castle, Strathblane, Stirling, from the south-west Duntreath Castle, the ancestral home of the Edmonstones of Duntreath, lies in a wooded valley at the foot of the Campsie Fells ten miles north of Glasgow. The castle was photographed in 1898 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The castle, surrounded by acres of parkland, was reconstructed in 1890 by the architect, Sydney Mitchell, who, by adding complete new fronts, turrets, dormer windows and round towers, transformed the existing building into a Franco-Scottish palace. The Duntreath estate once formed part of the lands of Lennox, ruled by the powerful Earls of Lennox. The original castle was a 15th-century fortified tower, which still survives, and a series of 17th-century ranges, built to enclose a central courtyard. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
