Inchmartine House
Inchmartine House is a mansion near the Scottish town of Inchture in the Council Area Perth and Kinross . In 1971 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
history
It was the Scottish King William the Lion who in the Middle Ages put the Inchmartine estate into the hands of his brother David, Earl of Huntingdon . Later it belonged to John de Inchmartine , the then Sheriff of Perthshire . Inchmartine was probably not the location of a mansion at this point.
Inchmartine House was built in 1643 when the reclamation of the area began. Inchmartine House was redesigned around 1800. James Vaughan Allen , whose wife Barbara Arbuthnott wrote the well-known book "The Henwife" and was the royal chicken rearing advisor, lived in the property throughout the century . After 1889 the mansion was removed from the property and sold to the tea and rubber plantation owner James Adam Hunter . In the early 20th century it was then divided into several apartments. This subdivision was dissolved again around 1960.
