Scope and Content Guisachan, Highland, from south-east 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 is the south range seen from the south-east, showing the grand entrance into the courtyard on each side of which are five identical bays, the outer bays slightly advanced with bipartite windows in the ground and first floors and all first-floor windows round-headed. The windows are linked by cill bands and rise above the wall-head under simple gableted dormers. A great many famous and influential people visited Guisachan to enjoy Lord Tweedmouth's hospitality and some hunting. In 1897 the Duke and Duchess of York, later to be King George V and Queen Mary, were guests. They planted two chestnut trees to the south of the house, as did the Maharajah of Banoda.
