Some of the finest homes in Scotland were torched as punishment to the rebels. Here we look at 7 which survived the rising and which hold fascinating family stories within.
. Drummond Castle, near Perth
The family home of James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth, who met Bonnie Prince Charlie in Perth in 1745 and led 200 men at the Battle of Prestonpans. He also led the siege of Carlisle. After Culloden, he died on a ship bound to France given the "rigours of the campaign." The castle was confiscated in 1750. | Other 3rd Party Photo: Creative Commons
. Elcho Castle, near Perth
Lord David Elcho led a regiment of The Lifeguard's Cavalry which was considered the elite horseback contingent of the rising. He was born in Wemyss Castle in Fife but Elcho Castle remained at the heart of the family. Lord Elcho, who first met Prince Charles in Paris in 1744 and then again on arrival in Eriskay, survived Culloden but escaped to France after defeat. | Other 3rd Party Photo: Historic Environment Scotlad

4. Strathallan Castle, near Auchterarder
The home of William Drummond, 4th Viscount of Strathallan, who was part of a hardcore cell of Jacobite supporters in Perthshire. He led a mounted regiment but was killed after his horse was taken out beneath him at Culloden. He allegedly received a last sacrament of oatcake and whisky from a chaplain. His son also took part in the rising with the castle later seized. It was eventually bought back by the family. | Other 3rd Party Photo: Tom Parnell/Creative Commons
