This beautiful house is situated at the start point of our walk on Tuesday - on the banks of Loch Earn. I took this shot as we descended the landrover track back to the car.
Apparently it is a good example of a medium-sized formal 18th century house, and has been the residence of the Stewart family since the 16th century - the present house probably incorporating fabric from an earlier castle.
The Ardvorlich Estate is run by the family as a working sheep farm on the slopes of Ben Vorlich.
Ballater Games Day today, so a working day for me, keeping all the Patrons in order. :-)
I think this stunning home must be everyone’s dream of a place to live & bring up a family. The little turrets on the end & beautiful little window in the roof at the front & that solid Scottish stone. Lucky Stewart family. Have a great day at the Games…..hope you have no troublemakers!!
Hope you have good weather for the games and everyone is on best behaviour :-)
