The current family seat is Kelburn Castle, Scotland, which is undergoing extensive renovation in the kitchen and the wiring that runs throughout the ancient castle.
The son of the 9th Earl of Glasgow and Dorothea Lyle was educated in Eton College, Berkshire and in the Sorbonne University, Paris. In 1960, he served in the Royal Naval Reserve, receiving the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. Boyle worked as assistant director in films and television documentary producer, and founded Kelburn Country Centre in 1977.

Lord Glasgow's son, Viscount Kelburn, is due to inherit Kelburn and his father's titles soon, the Viscount has many new ideas to bring the castle into the 21st century and to update it for the younger generation, he has done this by getting graffiti artists to graffiti on the back facade of the castle.

★ Lady Alice Dorothy Boyle

★ David Michael Douglas Boyle, Viscount Kelburn (b. 1978)
