Background
History
The castle belonged to the Stewart Earls of Lennox; the name derives from Hugh de Paduinan or Padvinan (Hugh's town). When the mansion was built in 1780 most of the castle was demolished. The Speirs family, of Elderslie, acquired the property in 1782. Additions were made in 1872 and 1873.
