Scope and Content Farmhouse, Guisachan, Highland, from south 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. The farmhouse, also known as the factor's house, is seen here from the south. Built in 1876 by A & W Reid, this two-storeyed, three-bayed house has a central narrow doorway with flanking canted bay windows and gablet dormers. The present owner, Donald Fraser, has written a history of Guisachan, which means 'place of the fir'. The Guisachan estate had been owned by the Frasers of Culbokie since the 16th century. William Fraser, 9th of Guisachan built a mansion house between 1755 and 1760 which was said to have been very fine, but was latterly incorporated into the more flamboyant Victorian house with its Venetian windows and French pavilion roofs.
