Did
you know that Guthrie has more than one castle in Scotland? In addition
to Guthrie Castle near Forfar, we are proud to call Torosay Castle one
of our own -- on the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland.
Guthrie
ancestry is strongly tied to the history of Scotland. Long before Guthrie
Castle was built in 1468, Robert
the Bruce, was busy fighting for the freedom of Scotland.
Robert
the Bruce is the matriarchal ancestor of Guthries descending from the
marriage of Alexander Guthrie, 2nd of Guthrie and Margaret Lyon of Glamis.
Robert Bruce was the heroic King of Scots who, despite set-backs, secured
Scotland's independence from England. His attempts to capture Stirling
Castle led to his famous victory at Bannockburn in 1314. The King of
England finally agreed that he was King of an independent country in
1328. Today many Guthries share this famous ancestor with HM Queen Elizabeth.
