The Earls of Strathmore

Om The Earls of Strathmore

The earls of Strathmore and their predecessors are inextricably linked to Glamis Castle, which attracts thousands of visitors each year. However, there is a danger that the earls and their predecessors are not receiving the attention they deserve. They are merely represented by the family portraits on the walls, the genealogical tree to be found at the back of the guidebook, and an occasional mention in the media. For most of their existence, they were not primarily concerned with houses and filling them with works of art, but, more interestingly, amassing and spending money; revelling in the grandeur of high status; and accumulating, wielding, and preserving power.
