In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Strowan like this:
Strowan, a mansion in Monzievaird and Strowan parish, Upper Strathearn, Perthshire, near the right bank of the Earn, 3 miles W of Crieff. Built in the latter half of the 18th century, and greatly enlarged in 1866, it is the seat of Thomas James Graham-Stirling, Esq. (b. and suc. 1811), who holds 3566 acres in the shire, valued at £3386 per annum, and who has spent between £20, 000 and £30,000 in improving the estate.—Ord. Sur., sh. 47, 1869. See chap. xxxix. of T. Hunter's Woods and Estates of Perthshire (1883).
