Carlowrie art collection
Eye-catching urban and pop art from Andrew Marshall’s personal collection of international emerging artists adorn the walls throughout the castle. Works include a Banksy, paintings from Cuban artist Raiber GoH and a specially commissioned canvas by Lucinda Burman of the castle, which hangs above the fireplace in the piano room.
History of the castle:
While the castle we know today was built in 1852, artefacts related to the Carlowrie land date as far back as the Jacobean era. Inside the castle, you'll find the original title deeds to the property dated 19 August 1591 on display.
Edinburgh-based wine merchant and Provost of Leith, Thomas Hutchison, purchased the land in 1852 and commissioned Carlowrie Castle to be built by famous architect David Rhind. This would become the Hutchison family home from 1854 to 1982. If you look above the front door to the castle, you'll see the Hutchison coat of arms carved into the stone.
Arguably the most fascinating resident of Carlowrie Castle was Isobel Wylie Hutchison, who lived from 1889 to 1982. Isobel was a formidable woman who defied traditional norms, choosing to lead a life of adventure instead. She became an Arctic explorer, author, botanist and a poet. Her adventures saw her traverse Iceland and Greenland on solo expeditions, learn eight languages fluently, and capture some of the earliest documentary footage ever recorded. Many of the plants she collected are still in the Carlowrie grounds today and can also be seen at Kew Gardens in London and the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh.
The current owner of Carlowrie Castle is Andrew Marshall, who is the second generation of the only other family to have owned the castle. Following extensive renovations, Andrew opened the castle as the venue it is today for other families to enjoy in 2014.
