This hotel is owned by Tennis player Andy Murray. Andy's brother Jamie married his wife here in 2010. In April 2015 Cromlix was the venue for the wedding reception of Andy Murray and his wife Kim, and the following year Murray's father and partner Sam Watson were married at the hotel. There are records of Cromlix from the 1500s when the Bishop of Dunblane sold the lands of Cromlix to his brother, Robert Chisholm. The present house was built for Arthur Hay Drummond, son of the Earl of Kinnoul. King Edward VII visited in September 1908. The house remained a family home for the Hay Drummonds until the death of Evelyn Hay Drummond in 1971 who had married Terence Eden, 8th Lord Auckland. Cromlix House was converted in May 1981 from what was the Eden family home, and retained much of the original furniture designed for the house as well as the family portraits. It also contains Cromlix Chapel, a consecrated Episcopalian Church in the diocese of Dunblane dating from 1874 which was opened by Charles Wordsworth, Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane. It contains some notable features, including the reredos, carved by Alexander MacDonald, a sculptor who lived in Rome, son of Lawrence MacDonald.
