Portrait of the Hon. Mrs. Campbell-Preston

The portrait of Angela Campbell-Preston (1910-1981) was painted a year before her death.

Mrs Angela Campbell-Preston was the mother to the 10th Duke of Atholl and our current Head Trustee Sarah Troughton. Angela moved to the castle in 1945 after her husband, Colonel George Anthony Murray died. She had a shrewd business mind, sound judgement and a good head for figures.

After the war when the castle reopened to visitors, she hired new managers for every department, not just the castle but the farms and woods too. Mrs C P, as she was affectionately known, was determined that the estate should run as a modern self-sufficient business.
