In 1875 two Scottish noblemen, George Henderson Gibb and General William Montagu Scott McMurdo, were the first British to spend an entire winter in Alassio along with their families. General McMurdo built, designed and constructed the Villa according to the Anglo-Indian principles. When General McMurdo died in Nice in 1894, his family sold the villa to Sir Walter Hamilton-Dalrymple,a Scottish baronet. The Dalrymples maintained ownership of the villa until 1922, when Sir Hew Clifford Hamilton-Dalrymple, 9th baronet, sold the residence to Daniel Hanbury, second child of Sir Thomas Hanbury of Mortola. The Hanbury family clearly gave a major boost to the completion of the Villa's garden, significantly increasing the variety of exotic plants in the park at the Villa.
