Scope and Content Courtyard, Guisachan, Highland, from south-west Dating from 1860, this huge courtyard steading was designed by A & W Reid & Mackenzie for Lord Tweedmouth who bought Guisachan estate from William Fraser of Culbokie in 1854. Guisachan House is now a ruin, but the farm, which includes a picturesque dairy, and the model village of Tomich, are still standing. This shows the courtyard from the south-west. The complex comprises seven cart sheds (right), three implement sheds, two van sheds, a tool house, meal store, six loose boxes, pony stable, farm stable, hay loft, harness room and two further farm stables, all identified by words carved on the door lintels. In 1908 the then Lord Tweedmouth sold Guisachan, largely due to the death of his wife, his parliamentary work, his appointment as First Lord of the Admiralty, some heavy financial losses and declining health. They did however keep Tomich House, now the Tomich Hotel, as a shooting lodge for a few years. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
