Mar Hall is located on the 240 acre Earl of Mar Estate on the River Clyde with the gently rolling Kilpatrick Hills on the far bank.
In ancient Scotland, Mar was one of the seven Pictish kingdoms and the Earl of Mar is the oldest title in Britain while the Mar Estate has a long and fascinating history. As far back as the 14th century there was a grand aristocratic castle built on the land - reference is made in the record books of Mary Queen of Scots and Robert the Bruce having visited.
Then, in 1828, a lavish Gothic mansion house, in the style of Manorial or Domestic Gothic seen in the time of Queen Elizabeth I, was commissioned by the Earl of Mar at a cost of around £50,000. The architect was the renowned Sir Robert Smirke who had also designed the British Museum in London. A quarry on the estate provided the beautiful stone used in the erection of the House. The oak, however, came from Quebec and was used throughout the house.
The cost of the conference dinner is £60. Please indicate on the registration form if you wish to attend the conference dinner.
