Kelburn is thought to be the oldest castle in Scotland to have been continuously inhabited by the same family. The family name is Boyle, shortened from its original Norman name of de Boyville.. The de Boyvilles from Caen in Normandy came over to Britain with William the Conqueror in 1066 and the present branch of the family settled in Kelburn in 1140. David Boyle was created First Earl of Glasgow in 1703, largely due to his contribution to the Union of the Parliaments.
