The lands at Stobhall have been in the hands of the Drummond family, the Earls of Perth, since the 14th century. Stobhall Castle was the ancestral seat of the Drummonds, a stronghold of Roman Catholicism in Scotland after the English Reformation, the Drummonds being staunch Roman Catholic recusants.{{cite news|title=Now Up For Sale|url=http://archive.catholicherald.co.uk/article/23rd-october-1953/8/now-up-for-sale|publisher=Catholic Herald|date=23 October 1953}} It is one of two castles (the other is Drummond Castle) traditionally associated with the family.

James IV of Scotland came to Stobhall on 6 February 1498 and was entertained by a lute player.Thomas Dickson, Accounts of the Treasurer, vol. 1 (Edinburgh, 1877), p. 376.

In 2012, a number of items from the house were auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh, raising over £900,000; the current earl James David Drummond, 19th Earl of Perth, and paternal grandson of the 17th Earl, decided to move to London.{{cite news|title=Treasures of Stobhall to go under hammer|url=http://www.scotsman.com/scotland-on-sunday/scotland/treasures-of-stobhall-to-go-under-hammer-1-2209109|publisher=The Scotsman|date=1 April 2012}}{{cite news|title=Stobhall Castle auction surpasses expectations|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-17938207|publisher=BBC|date=3 May 2012}}
