Alloa Hilton Farm
Dublin Core
Title
Alloa Hilton Farm
Description
The Earl and Countess of Mar & Kellie's home have some fine family portraits, including a newly arrived three-metre high painting of Walter Coningsby Erskine, 10th Earl of Mar, who inherited the earldom and Alloa estate from his cousin, the 9th Earl of Mar, in 1866. He had had a very distinguished career in India and became a Commander of the Bath following the Indian Mutiny, when he managed to keep his district of Jubalpore quiet. He used his considerable fortune to enlarge Alloa House and improve the estate, as well as making alterations and repairs to Alloa Tower.
The paintings also complement the large collection of Mar & Kellie portraits on display in nearby Alloa Tower.
