Tullichewan is located near Loch Lomond, Scotland; in the Vale of the river Leven.
Originally called Tuloch Eoghain, "the hill of Eoghan." In the 17th century it was acquired by the Colquhoun family, and was known as Tully-Colquhoun or Tillyquhoun; and then Tullichewan.
The Tullichewan estate was sold by the Colquhoun clan to James Buchanan in 1792.
He erected a castle at Tullichewan, employing the designer Robert Lugar, who also designed Balloch Castle.
The Horrocks family owned the castle from 1817 to 1843. They then sold the estate to the Campbell family.
The castle was vacated during World War II, when it was requisitioned by the Navy.
