Chris, Claire and their children have lived at Bonshaw since 2008 when they inherited it from Chris’ father, Dr Bruce Irving.  Chris is a company director, having served in The Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons) infantry battalion.  He is a member of The King’s Bodyguard for Scotland, Royal Company of Archers.  Claire is training to be a school-based child counselor.

They are delighted to welcome visiting Irvings/Irvines/Irwins, of whatever spelling, from around the world and give tours of the tower.   Each year they host a couple of hundred of visiting clan members, including the organized CIA tours.  Please do email them ahead of time to plan your visit, [email protected].
