Location formerly entered as NC 9199 0770.
Kintradwell (NC 9199 0770) one of the oldest manor-houses in Sutherland, occupies a commanding position on a natural terrace. It is known among Celtic natives of the district as Cuin Trolla, Cill-Trolla and Clen-Trolla - Trolla's height or headland - and was probably so named from St Trolla or Trollhaena, known in the Calender as St Triduana and St Tredwell.
J M Joass 1873.
This house was burnt by the Earl of Cromarty while on his way to Caithness during the time of the 'Forty-five'.

Kintradwell House is in an extremely poor condition and uninhabited. No date-stone was seen and no obvious features of antiquity were visible in the structure. The building incorporates several phases of construction, the front, or S side being probably 19th century. The rear of the house is of plain design and uncertain date.
Visited by OS (WDJ), 4 April 1962.
The house has been recently fully renovated and is now occupied. No further information regarding its antiquity and history was obtained.
