Earlier Houses: There were two earlier houses on, or near, the site of the current 20th century house.

House & Family History: The Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, was a regular visitor at the second Glen Tanar when his mistress, Lillie Langtry, was a guest at the house. Conveniently for the prince, his own house, Balmoral Castle, was very close to Glen Tanar. When the pink granite second house was demolished in 1971 the old ballroom, decorated with over 600 antlers, was retained and incorporated into the current (third) house.

House Replaced By: The late 19th century house (the second house) was replaced by a 1970s house (the third house), which incorporates the ballroom of the 1870s house.

Collections: The contents were sold in 1971, after the death of the 2nd Lord Glentanar.

Garden & Outbuildings: The Glen Tanar Estate today stands at 25,000 acres.
