history
In 1648 the property passed from Clan Hay to Patrick Ogilvie . Thomas Blair of Balthayock Castle acquired Errol Park four years later. In 1662 the property was created as a Barony of Errol as a baronate by royal charter . During the 17th century, the property was lost due to gambling debts. The London banker George Middleton lived on the property from 1741 and may be responsible for Errol Park House, built in 1745, which was destroyed in a fire in 1874. It was similar in design to Glendoick House . In 1873 , Francis Molison, originally from Dundee , bought Errol Park for £ 118,000. The current building was built between 1875 and 1877 based on a design by Alexander Johnston .
