Guisachan House, Beauly, Highland Scotland - DJI MINI3 Pro 4K - April 2023

The second video from our second day in the Highlands, a local day after the long drive up, and a ruin spotted on a previous visit that just begged to be captured with the Drone.

We were told of the history of the house - and the association with the Golden Retriever - at the pub in Tomich, where we stopped for lunch - great food and extremely good apple crumble if you get the chance to visit...

A short history of Guisachan House
Here is a very short overview of the history of Guisachan House.

1854 - The future site of Guisachan Estate was stalking lands used for hunting red deer stags and fishing. Dudley Coutts Marjoriebanks purchases 20,000 acres of land to create his new estate at an eye-watering cost of £60,000. At this time, he decided to create a large home on the Guisachan Estate, along with many buildings associated with the estate and village of Tomich.

1868 - At this time, he created the now world-famous golden retriever dog breed.

1881 - Dudley Marjoribanks is made Baron Tweedmouth of Edington on the 12th of October.

1894 - Lord Tweedmouth dies, and the estate falls to his son Edward, who became the 2nd Lord Tweedmouth. Due to financial difficulties, Lord Tweedmouth sold the property to Lord Portsmouth, who would use the property for recreational purposes for a further 27 years. The property began to fall into disrepair.

1935 - Mr Hunter purchased the property and sold large swathes of the estate to the Forestry Commission. The house remains uninhabited and unsold due to a lack of interest.

1938 - The house became part of a Keep Fit Summer School, which did not sit well with Lady Islington, who decided to purchase the home for £1500 and then strip the interior and remove the roof. Now open to the elements, this once grand country house was left to rack and ruin.
