History and legend and drama become a little confused in the early story of Glamis. There certainly seems to have been an established royal residence at Glamis when King Malcolm II of Alba was assassinated here, in circumstances that remain unclear, on 25 November Part of the oldest part of the castle has traditionally been called "Duncan's Hall", after King Duncan I, Malcolm's grandson and successor as King of Alba.
It is certainly possible Duncan visited Glamis, but the part of the castle in question was not built until the s, nearly years after Duncan's time. Even more tenuous are the traditional links between King Macbeth, who succeeded and killed Duncan in Shakespeare's witches describe Macbeth as "Thane of Glamis" and "Thane of Cawdor ", and tell him he will "be King hereafter".
It was their son, Sir John Lyon of Glamis, who began work on turning the old royal hunting lodge he had inherited into the Glamis Castle you see today. Starting in he built what was at the time called the Palace House, and now forms the core of the east wing of the castle. In about he began work on the castle's great tower. Construction continued after his death and was completed in This stood to the west of the Palace House and the two were not physically connected.
It was only a century later that the great tower was expanded to bridge the gap and unify the existing structures into a single building. The angle of the "L" contained the round stair tower that is the focal point of the castle today. At this time the castle would have had a courtyard on its southern side in which ancillary buildings were erected. The courtyard and castle would have been surrounded by a barmkin or defensive wall.
Holding onto power and property in medieval Scotland was very much a case of ensuring you backed the right factions in any conflict and, above all else, that you didn't fall out with the monarch.
The Lyons of Glamis nearly came unstuck over an argument that had nothing to do with them in the early s. When James V gained power in he took his revenge on the whole of his stepfather's family. James V brought charges of witchcraft against her, had her imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle and then, in had her burned at the stake in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile James had seized Glamis Castle for the Crown and frequently made use of it over the following five years. He was only released, and the ransacked castle returned to him, when James died in Relations with the crown were fully restored when Mary, Queen of Scots stayed at Glamis Castle in John, 8th Lord Glamis was one of the most powerful, and richest, nobles in Scotland.
The 2nd Earl of Kinghorne lost most of his family fortune backing the Covenanters during the religious wars of the mid s. He re-established the fortunes of the Lyon family and undertook extensive rebuilding work at Glamis Castle, apparently to his own designs. He built the west wing, which helped provide a balance to the original east wing.
He also realigned the estate so that the avenue approached the castle at the the angle which so impresses visitors today. Patrick was also responsible for turning the old great hall of the medieval castle into the fine drawing room you see today. John, the 5th Earl, supported the Jacobite uprising and was killed at the Battle of Sheriffmuir. While there he is said to have healed a number of locals by touching them, a sign to the Jacobites that he was indeed the rightful king.
He went on to remodel the castle and the estates.
