Elegant Tulloch Castle – Scottish Davidson Clan Coaster

A photograph of Tulloch Castle, in Dingwall, Scotland, north of Inverness, honours the ancient linage of the Davidson Scottish Clan. If you have the blood of more than one Scottish clan flowing through your veins, building a set of coasters for the individual families is a way to enjoy all your heritage. Henry Davidson purchased Tullock Castle in 1762, from his cousin, Kenneth Bayne, 8th Laird of Tulloch. On Davidson’s death in 1781, Tulloch was inherited by his younger brother Duncan Davidson, who was MP for Cromartyshire from 1790 to 1796. The property was home to the Davidson Clan until the death of Duncan Davidson, who left the castle to his daughter and her son, Colonel Angus Vickers, of the Vickers aircraft company. Tulloch Castle served as a hospital after the evacuation of Dunkirk, and has been a hostel for the local education authority. Today, it is a hotel and conference centre.
