Statement of Interest

In 1798 John Francis Erskine, Earl of Mar (1741-1825) granted the lease of a field to John Bald Esquire to build and operate a distillery near the Carse Bridge in Alloa (The Scotch Malt Whisky Society). Carsebridge Distillery opened in 1799.

The house and estate appear to have leased to the Bald family throughout much of the 19^th century while remaining in the ownership of the Earl of Mar (OS1/8/1/31). John Bald and his family is recorded as living at Carsebridge House in the 1841 census record.

The Ordnance Survey Name Book of 1861-62 describes Carsebridge House as a neat and substantially built two-storey house with single-storey offices attached and the property of the Earl of Mar (OS1/8/1/31). The 1^st Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1861-62 shows a substantial walled garden to the west of the house, set within a belt of woodland that stretches southwards. The walled garden is contemporary with Carsebridge House.
