Built in 1782 by Francis Farquharson, who had been captured in 1746 at Culloden and been imprisoned and exiled for 20 years. He built this house at the foot of Craggendarroch and then went about creating and planning the village of Ballater.
With one of the most prestigious addresses in Royal Deeside, this Georgian house, offers luxurious accommodation in a wonderful setting.
In recent years it has been fully refurbished and all the rooms are individually decorated and distinctively Scottish. With two additional sitting rooms available for two of the bedroom suites, as well as the entrance hall, designer kitchen, dining room and drawing room – this is a large house with lots of space.
Set in 6 acres, which includes a hard surface site for a marquee, this is an excellent venue for a small wedding, corporate meeting, family holiday or occasion.
