Background

History

In April 1588, Jonet Campbell was married at Torloisk and her son Lachlan Mor Maclean used the opportunity to revenge himself on his new stepfather John MacKane and some of the wedding guests. Torloisk House (and Torloisk Estate) as they now exist are the result of alterations and additions made under the ownership of Admiral William Compton, 4th Marquess of Northampton. The architect of the changes was Peter Lyle Barclay Henderson.
