The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- However, Sir William Douglas died without issue in 1809 and his property was divided between various nieces and nephews, with Gelston going to the youngest daughter of his brother James, Mathilda Douglas.
- In 1813 Mathilda married William Maitland, and their family continued to preside over the estate for most of the 19th Century.
- Gelston then became the property of the Galliers-Pratts who retained the castle for pheasant shooting, and from whom it was requisitioned during World War II.
