" JOHN LEE ALLEN and JAMES ALLEN "
( 1781 - 1846 & 1783 - ? )

' The ALLEN BROTHERS of ERROL '

Oil on canvas 60 x 45 1/2 inches

Owned by a Private collection.

On long-term loan to Tate Gallery, London

The sitters were the sons of John Allen of Inchmartine and his wife Flavel,
whose family name is not known.

Inchmartine is in the Carse of Gowrie on the north bank of the River Tay,
a few miles from the estate and mansion house of Errol,
which John Allen purchased in 1786. 

A deed of settlement of 1794 makes it clear that the eldest son,
John Lee Allen, was to inherit the estate of Errol and that his second son,
James Allen, was to succeed to Inchmartine.

Near to Errol is Port Allen,
now completely silted up but a thriving port in the early nineteenth century,
which presumably took its name from the family.

John Allen also owned a house in St Andrews Square in Edinburgh
and the boys may have been born there.

The boys' father was dead by 1793 when the elder boy was granted sasine of Errol.
He remained proprietor of Errol until 1846,
when he was succeeded by his eldest son, John James Allen.
