"The castle we know today (Claypotts Castle, Dundee) was built by a second John Strachan who married a Eufame Durham from a neighbouring estate. The couple had seven children and John Strachan had his own coat-of-arms (in the picture here - with his initials incorporated in it). John lived to enjoy his castle until 1593 and was succeeded by his son Gilbert and then his grandson, the third John Strachan."
