In 1900 the architect Ch.
R. Mackintosh prepared drawings for a ' dream house '. These drawings
were for a house that Mackintosh would probably have liked to build
for himself and his wife. The plans show no fewer than ten chimneys
on prominent vertical stacks, which contrast with the battered (converging
vertical) walls of the house.
The house has strong sculptural presence in the highlands. Situated
in spectacular countryside just south of Inverness. The Mackintosh
theme is no mere cosmetic in the house, and has been carried through
in the interior design. Classic white painted walls and complete Mackintosh
interior for the dining hall.
The estate is situated in beautiful countryside just 7 miles south
of Loch Ness and Inverness (the capital of the Highlands). Its central
position in the middle of the Highlands is an ideal place from which
to discover the beauty of the highlands of Scotland. Nearby are over
20 golf courses, fishing facilities and hill walking, bird watching,
skiing, hunting and sightseeing opportunities.
