The name Dunmore was introduced into the area in the middle of the 18th century by the Murray family. For many centuries the
estates, fortified tower house and settlement bore the name Elphinstone from the family which had been in residence since
sometime prior to 1338. In that year John of Elphinstone of the famous East Lothian family is present in the area, the husband of
'Marjorie of Airth' who was the daughter of 'William of Airth'. Their son Alexander inherited their title to the estates and the family
continued to acquire land in the area so that by 1503 the holdings were erected into the Barony of Elphinstone and the family were
close to the royal court of James IV. The then family head, another Alexander, became the first Lord Elphinstone and fought and
died beside the King at Flodden in 1513.
In 1754 John Murray, Viscount Fincastle, heir to the Earldom of Dunmore, purchased the lands of Elphinstone for £16,000 and soon
after changed the name to Dunmore, a place in Perthshire associated with his family who were related to the Murrays of Blair
Castle. Two years later he succeeded his father as 4th Earl of Dunmore. The estates remained in the family until 1911 when they
were sold. There are three buildings associated with the family and estates. The first, Elphinstone tower, is now a ruin under
severe threat of collapse through weathering and neglect. It was built around 1510 for Sir John Elphinstone and was much altered
and enhanced over the years.
