Irvine, Irving Scottish Clan's Drum Castle

Irvines, Irvings and similarly named people from around the world can enjoy unique gifts that celebrate their ancient Scottish Clan Irvine heritage and its history at Drum Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. If you’re a member of the Irvine/Irving Clan, you are already aware your people have a variety of name spellings for the same family. However, did you know that your homeplace in Scotland is a castle near Drumoak in Aberdeenshire? Puzzled about the name? Drum comes from “druim”, a Gaelic word that means ridge. For centuries, Drum Castle was the seat of the chief of Clan Irvine. The 13th century tower is thought to have been designed by Richard Cementarius, a leading medieval architect. Wikipedia notes that Drum Castle “is believed to be one of the three oldest tower houses in Scotland (and notably unaltered)”. Naturally, there has been later work, most notably a large wing added about 1620 and other modifications during the Victorian era. In today's world, there's no reason to wonder about your Scottish family heritage, hints are everywhere. #scotland #scottish #customgifts #scottishgiftshop #personalizedgifts #scotlandxmas #scottishChristmas
