Scope and Content Ventilator, Dairy, Guisachan, Highland 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 a detail of the flèche ventilator on the dairy, with its paired round-headed, louvred openings in each of the four faces. The ventilator, all-important to the hygiene of a dairy, is topped by a pyramidal slated roof with cast iron finial. In 1873 Lord Tweedmouth's son, Edward, married Fanny Spencer-Churchill, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and aunt of Winston Churchill, who spent holidays at Guisachan and is reputed to have learned to drive there. There is a photograph of Churchill with a car outside the old carriage stables. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
