It was previously a royal hunting lodge. On the death of his father Strathmore was very active in the management of the estate, Castle and farming enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>Glamis has a dark secret &#8211; back in the nineteenth century a Lyon-Bowes baby had been reported to have died but really was hidden away in Glamis because they were deformed. \u00a0Thomas Lyon-Bowes was the rightful heir to the title and property but due to his deformity he was kept in a secret chamber at Glamis and the story that he was dead was leaked out. \u00a0Thomas has no gravestone and the chamber was bricked up after his death. \u00a0There are awful stories, labelling him &#8216;The Monster of\u00a0Glamis&#8217; \u00a0and describing him as half man half frog. \u00a0It has always been questioned how much of the story is true.<\/p>\n<p>In 1984 Strathmore married Isobel Charlotte Weatherall daughter of Captain Anthony E. Weatherall \u00a0Michael and Isobel have three sons.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66008\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66008\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66008\" src=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/strath4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/strath4.jpg 511w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/strath4-300x205.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-66008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Jock Bowes-Lyon (John), Geordie Bowes-Lyon (George) and Lord Glamis (Simon)<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They separated in 2003 and divorced in 2004. \u00a0His oldest son\u00a0Simon Patrick Bowes-Lyon is Lord Glamis and heir. \u00a0His brothers are\u00a0John Fergus Bowes-Lyon and \u00a0George Norman Bowes-Lyon.<\/p>\n<p>At the funeral of the Queen Mother Strathmore walked behind Prince Phillip. \u00a0His sons were also there as the Queen Mother&#8217;s\u00a0great-grandnephews; Simon, John and George.<\/p>\n<p>On November 24, 2005 Michael married again, \u00a0Dr. Damaris E Stuart-William, a clinical psychologist\u00a0\u00a0at Glamis Castle. \u00a0Michael and Damaris had one son Toby Peter Fergus Bowes-Lyon born that same year. \u00a0Then came a very hard time in his life where he publicly went &#8216;off the rails&#8217; at the breakdown of his second marriage which he apologised for and confessed to a drink problem.
