< Alloa Tower, built about 1223, was in 1360 bestowed by David II. on Sir Robert Erskine, Great Chamberlain of Scotland, whose
seventh descendant, John, sixth Lord Erskine, was in 1565 created Earl of Mar-a title which, forfeited in 1716, was restored in 1824,
and with which that of Earl of Kellie (cre. 1619), was united in 1828. Their present holder is Walter Henry Erskine, who, born in
1839, succeeded his father in 1872 as thirteenth Earl of Kellie, and in 1875 was declared also fourteenth Earl of Mar by judgment of
the House of Lords (Rev. A. W. Hallen's Mar Peerage Case, 1875). The tower is square and of great strength, the walls 11 feet
thick, the topmost turret 89 feet high and this strength it was that saved it from the great fire of 28 Aug. 1800, which destroyed all the
later additions, along with a portrait of Mary Queen of Scots. Mary spent much of her childhood here, as also did James VI. and
Prince Henry: and the latter's golf-club and James's cradle are still preserved. The modern house (1834-38) was much enlarged
between 1866 and 1872, when its gardens, with terrace and lawns sloping down to the river, were likewise greatly improved.
