Marc Ellington, American folk singer who became the laird of a Scottish estate – obituary
Marc Ellington, American folk singer who became the laird of a Scottish estate – obituary Telegraph Obituaries © Estate Of Keith Morris/Redferns Marc Ellington in his folk days - Estate Of Keith Morris/Redferns Marc Ellington, who has died aged 75, was an American folk rock musician and Vietnam draft evader who became one of Scotland’s leading building conservationists through his restoration of the derelict Towie Barclay Castle. He was a man of warmth and generosity, and his journey from hippiedom to the heart of the Scottish Establishment as Deputy Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire was completely unforced. He was as at home with Prince Charles as he was recording with Fairport Convention or holidaying with David Bowie – whose singing, Ellington’s insouciant young daughters remarked, “wasn’t very good”.

That will be his legacy, following his death on Wednesday, aged 75. Mr Ellington, who bought Towie Barclay Castle, near Turriff, alongside his wife Karen, in the 1960s, spent years rebuilding it into a family home for them and their two daughters Iona and Kirstie.
