Owned by a number of Bruces, the most notorious Baron of Earlshire is Sir Andrew the Bloody Bruce. An officer of Claverhouse's dragoons he won the Battle of Killecrackie and earned his name in his brutal putting down of the Covenanters. His footsteps are said to be heard on the spiral stairs of Earlshall to this day.
