THE ESTATE
The estate was established in the seventeenth century by the Perry family at Mullaghmore, later known as Perrymount.
Through the marriage of Mary Perry to Alexander McClintock in 1781, the estate passed into the McClintock family, who developed Seskinore as their principal residence.
Over time, the estate evolved through inheritance, marriage, and legal transition.
