The Ardilaun Period
(1899-1911)
Lord Ardilaun, a member of the wealthy Guinness family, purchased Muckross
House and its Estate in
November 1899.
Olivia, the wife of Lord Ardilaun, was related to the
former owners, the
Herbert family.
The Ardilauns appear to have spent little time at Muckross. Instead, the
House was let out as a
hunting and shooting lodge.
The documents on the database below include accounts, as well as agreements
relating to rent
reductions, deer trespass, fishing and salmon hauling.

Agreements relating to the
