historical note

the site of Glenshochie house was formerly a derelict farm
cottage, last occupied about 30 years ago. the lands had been
part of the strathord Estate, bought by the Eagle star
insurance company in the early 1950s. A stone seat that stood
by the front door of the cottage is now at the side of the house.

the current owners bought Glenshochie Estate in 2000 with
planning permission for the new house being granted in
september 2006. works were started in April 2007, with
completion in July 2008.

the house was built to a Georgian style, as designed by an
Edinburgh architect, to a floor design as set out by the owners,
as a house that should be light, warm, comfortable and
suitable for modern living.
