Statement of Interest

Note: The date 1604 is frequently given for this house, that

being the date when James VI and I granted Muiresk and Kinnermit

to Francis Earl of Errol. But the charter preserved within the

house makes it quite clear that there was already a house on

the property at that date. The present house was built by the

Brodies. Some work was probably done on it after Alexander

Dirom became proprietor, in 1767, the c 1830-40 remodelling was

done for James Brodie Spottiswoode
