Castle Huntly is thought to date from the 15th century and was built by Baron Gray of Fowlis under licence from James II of Scotland. The castle changed hands in 1614 when it was acquired by the then Earl of Strathmore who changed its name to Castle Lyon. In the 1770s, the castle was sold by the widow of the 7th Earl of Strathmore, electing to live in London, to George Paterson of the East India Company [for £40,000] who also changed the name back to Castle Huntly.
He was the brother of Thomas Lyon (1704-1753), 8th Earl of Strathmore, GM Premier GL 1744 [below].
