Human Skull Found at Former Drambuie Mansion
A human skull has been discovered in the grounds of a mansion previously occupied by the chairman of Scotch whisky liqueur brand Drambuie.
As reported by the Scottish Daily Record, police have found what is believed to be a womanâs skull at Gogar Mount House, where Drambuie chairman Mary Mackinnon lived until 10 years ago.
The property and its 23-acre grounds was also previously owned by whisky distiller Sir Robert Usher in the 1800s.
Police expanded their search for any further remains to a nearby golf course and other areas. In particular, a forensics tent has been erected at the 9th hole of Gogarburn Golf Club.
Reports claim that more bones have been found at the golf club.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland told the Daily Mail: âOfficers were called to Gogarstone Road at around 4pm on Saturday following the discovery of human remains within the grounds of a property.
âA detailed forensic examination is now under way to establish the full circumstances surrounding this, and further updates will be provided when available.â
The Mackinnon family owned the Drambuie Scotch whisky brand for almost 100 years until its sale to William Grant & Sons in September 2014.
Drambuie, a blend of Scotch whisky, spices and honey, dates back to 1745 and was became famous in the 1950s as the main ingredient in the Rusty Nail â a cocktail favoured by member of the Rat Pack.

previously owned by whisky distiller Sir Robert Usher in the 1800s. Inspiration for Edgar Allen Poe?

I remember visiting a mansion with my parents, sometime back in the fifties when I was about 10. The owner had a human skull on the shelf in his library. He said he was in WWII in the Pacific, and "found" the skull on a battlefield. He simply took it home with him.
The point is, in that timeframe, and even more so prior to that, it was not illegal, and often quite easy to possess a human skull.
