Tullamaine Castle is also referred to in some of the Mitford books, as Pamela Mitford lived there when she was married to Derek Jackson the amateur jockey and physicist. Pamela was responsible for the supervision of the selling of Tullamaine in the 1950s. In contrast to her high society and notorious sisters Pamela adored the simple country life at Tullamaine.
Tullamaine Castle is in its own right an outstanding stud for the last forty years, with Bob Lanigan breeding equine stars such as Delilah, Bin Ajwad, Hot Tin Roof a multiple stakes winner, along with Polenator and the The Minirva Rose who won the double at Doncaster Group 2 on successive days, a particular highlight for Lanigan.
James Bond actor Pearse Brosnan has stabled his horses at Tullamaine and has been a frequent visitor over the years. Tullamaine has given Brosnan a license to thrill if you will.
