Thrumster House
The main part of Thrumster house was built in 1790 by David Brodie of Hopeville, who was a tenant of Sir John Sinclair, a very powerful local magnate, noted for his improving works during this period. There was originally a much older structure on the same site, and some of the foundation stones are still visible in the “secret passage” which runs under the hall. (This is not an exciting early feature, but a tunnel which was constructed to enable early electricians to take cables under the house when it was first wired in the 1930’s!).
