After the death of her husband Archibald Douglas, 1st Duke of Douglas, his widow Margaret Douglas, Duchess of Douglas lived in the building. The building was expanded in 1800 and fundamentally renovated and modernized in 1946. The owner Vivienne Donaldson transferred the Clober Farm to a non-profit organization for the healing of spinal diseases ( SIS ) in 2007 . The former farm was remodeled for an estimated £ 240,000 following a fundraising campaign and opened in 2012 in the presence of Princess Anne .
