Scotland House 8725 is a fine Scottish house situated within the new Cairngorm National Park, with an abundance of wildlife including red squirrels, huge herds of deer and ospreys.
Surrounded by tranquil and beautiful countryside yet only 40 minutes from the A9 road giving access to Edinburgh, Perth and Glasgow. Offering the opportunity to relax in elegant and comfortable surroundings.
The lands of Glenisla were chartered to the monks of the Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus on July 9th 1234 and there has been a dwelling on the site here since the 14th century.
The accommodation consists of a Drawing room, which is a large room with deep comfortable sofas.
The Dining Room is traditional with a mahogany dining table that seats 14 people, and the Library is decorated in one of the family's tartans.
The huge kitchen/breakfast room is fully fitted and splendidly equipped, as is the large utility room.
All the bedrooms are to a high standard and most enjoy wonderful views across to the surrounding hills.
There is an acre of well kept formal garden with revolving summer house, lawns and hard tennis court (play by arrangement). From the garden one may walk the short distance through the woodland garden to fish for wild brown trout on 3 miles of the River Isla or on the three hill lochs on the estate. Wooden clinker built boats, ghillie, and instruction by arrangement. Truly ideal for anyone seeking the real comforts of a country house amidst splendid Highland scenery.
