[1] The Ochtertyre estate was the subject of a violent blood feud between the Murrays and the Drummonds in the neighbourhood in the late 15th century.

The Murrays of Ochtertyre had been engaged by their relative, the abbot of nearby Inchaffray Abbey, with collecting teinds from the Drummonds of Monzievaird.

[1] Robert Burns visited Sir William Murray at Ochtertyre on his tour to the Highlands with Willie Nicol in 1787.

[1] A family mausoleum was added in 1809, remote from the main house, designed by Charles Heathcote Tatham.

The house is a category A listed building and the grounds are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes.
