Donibristle House

Highlight • Castle

The castle-like Donibristle House dates back to a 12th-century residence for the Abbot of Inchcolm. In 1543, the Inchcolm Abbey was dissolved. Shortly thereafter, the first Earl of Moray, who inhabited Donibristle from 1561, was James Stuart, the half-brother of Queen Mary Stuart.
The second Earl of Moray, James Stuart II., was attacked in the castle on February 7, 1592, as he was the lover of Queen Anne of Denmark. Donibristle House burned down in the process. The Earl was caught on the beach and murdered.
In the early 18th century, Alexander McGill rebuilt Donibristle House, with the main house burning down completely in 1858.
During World War II, the Navy used the two wings of the castle. The west wing finally burned down in 1985.
In the early 1990s, the castle was rebuilt to its current state by a private investor.
