It has belonged to the Lowther family, latterly the Earls of Lonsdale, since the Middle Ages. In the late 17th century John Lowther, 1st Viscount Lonsdale rebuilt the family home, then known as Lowther Hall, on a grand scale. The current building is a castellated mansion which was built by Robert Smirke for William Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale between 1806 and 1814, and it was only at that time that Lowther was designated a "castle". The family fortune was undermined by the extravagance of the 5th Earl of Lonsdale, a famous socialite, and the castle was closed in 1937. During the Second World War, it was used by a tank regiment. Its contents were removed in the late 1940s and the roof was removed in 1957. The shell is still owned by the Lowther Estate Trust.

Dunrobin Castle is a stately home in Sutherland, in the Highland area of Scotland, United Kingdom, and the seat of the Countess of Sutherland and Clan Sutherland. Though Dunrobin's origins lie in the 1300s, much of what can be seen today is the result of extensive remodelling by Sir Charles Barry, the architect of the Palace of Westminster (the United Kingdom Houses of Parliament), who greatly extended or re-clad the original relatively plain medieval castle to create a 'fairy-tale' architectural fantasy. Stylistically the house has a distinctly 'French renaissance meets Scots-Baronial' feel. Some of the original building is visible in the interior courtyard.
