==History==
In 1596 the lands of Aberuchill were granted to Colin Campbell (d.1618), son of Sir John Campbell of Lawers.〔〕 The earliest part of the tower house is dated 1602. In 1642 Aberuchill was acquired by Sir James Drummond,〔 and was retained by his descendents until 1858. The gothic east wing was added to the tower house by the Drummonds, and the interiors remodelled, in the early 19th century.〔
The house was purchased by Sir David Dundas of Dunira in 1858, who sold it on to Sir George Dewhurst in 1864. Between 1869 and 1874 the west wing and further additions were made, possibly to the designs of David Bryce.〔 The estate was sold by the Dewhursts in the 1980s,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aberuchill Castle: Site history )〕 and remains in private ownership. In 2005 it was reported that Russian steel tycoon Vladimir Lisin had purchased the castle and its estate for £6.8 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oligarch of the Glen: Russia's second richest buys £7m estate )〕
