Scope and Content 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 steading from the south-west, with the entrance through the pend and under the clock-tower. The building is of grey rubble with contrasting tooled red ashlar dressings. The clock-tower bay is slightly advanced and rises above the rest of the two-storeyed range. Numerous politicians, prominent members of the church and the artists Millais, Sir Edwin Landseer, Wolff (the animal painter) and Gourlay Steel visited Guisachan. In 1890 Gladstone planted three Douglas firs above the Plodda Falls. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
