Old Photograph Kippenross House Scotland
Old photograph of Kippenross House by Dunblane, Scotland. The Ros family owned the land east of the Allan Water from the 12th century and built a tower house in 1448 on a bluff overlooking the river. In financial difficulty they sold it in 1633 to James Pearson who was Dean of Dunblane Cathedral. The lairds second son William Pearson apparently lost the freehold of Kippenross to John Stirling of Kippendavie " at dice or cards. " The later John Stirling of Kippendavie, born 1811, died 1882, inherited the estate at the age of five when his family owned significant property in town and to the east side of Dunblane, including farms on Sheriffmuir, Kippendavie and Kippenross.
