I wonder if there is anyone who can tell me when the Harvey family owned Castle Semple and if they were related to the Crawfords. I can find lots on Crawfords but a vague reference to the Harveys owning it at one time.  I am interested in the time of the second half of the 1800s.

If you go to the following website www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/features/featurehistory2532.html it states in part -- "The estate of Castle-Semple belonged to the noble family of Sempill from the 14th century till 1727, when it was sold to Colonel M 'Dowall; in 1813 it was sold again to John Harvey, Esq.; and its present proprietor is Hy. Lee-Harvey, Esq. (b. 1823; suc. 1872), who owns 6500 acres in the shire, valued at £5562 per annum."
