Background

History

The first medieval castle at Dunglass was built by the Pepdie family in the 14th century. On the marriage of Nicola Pepdie to Sir Thomas Home of Home, the castle and lands passed to the Home family. James IV stayed at Dunglass in December 1496, and played cards. He gave a tip, also known as "drinksilver", to masons working on the building and enjoyed a banquet which included spices brought from Edinburgh.
