Stobhall (or Stobhall Castle) is a country house and estate in Perthshire in Scotland, 8 miles (13 km) from Perth. The 17th-century dower house and several other buildings are Category A-listed with Historic Environment Scotland.[1]
The lands at Stobhall have been in the hands of the Drummond family, the Earls of Perth, since the 14th century.[1] Stobhall Castle was the ancestral seat of the Drummonds, a stronghold of Roman Catholicism in Scotland after the English Reformation, the Drummonds being staunch Roman Catholic recusants.[2] It is one of two castles (the other is Drummond Castle) traditionally associated with the family.
James IV of Scotland came to Stobhall on 6 February 1498 and was entertained by a lute player.[3]
In 2012, a number of items from the house were auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh, raising over £900,000; the current earl James David Drummond, 19th Earl of Perth, and paternal grandson of the 17th Earl, decided to move to London.[4][5]
