The land the castle stands on was originally owned by James Hamilton, 1st Laird Hamilton, and the castle was built by Alexander Lindsay, 1st Laird of Crossbasket. Subsequent owners included Charles McIntosh in 1818, the waterproof fabric inventor best known for the McIntosh raincoat. It was also used as a children’s home and a further education centre.
In May 2023, ICMI announced its extended management agreement with Crossbasket Castle, helping support the luxury hotel as it undergoes an ambitious £15 million expansion. Once complete, the hotel and venue will have the capacity for an additional 35,000 visitors each year and provide over 50 jobs for the local area.
