We've always honoured this request and in May 2020 welcomed Jock VII, a six month old rescue kitten, to the property to take up this unique role.
Along with his white bib and white paws, Jock VI has a very mischievous character. Keep an eye out for him as you tour the property.
Jock is settling into his residency and has developed a mischievous character. His favourite pastimes are investigating what the gardeners are up to and trying to persuade people to give him snacks. He also likes lots of cuddles on the sofa after an eventful day.

It seems that the last Jock is still alive and well loved with one of the house’s caretakers. He’s gone a little blind and old is all.
