(NC 9520 6515) Sandside House (NAT)

OS 6" map, (1967)

The first Lord Reay, created in 1628, built a house at Sandside, but the present building bears the date 1751, and has considerable additions made to it since then. It is a large plain square-looking family mansion of no architectural beauty, the property of the Duke of Portland The rectangular ice-house (at NC 9573 6551) is of 18th - 19th century date. R Pocock 1887; C Cordiner 1780; P Townend 1963; Name Book 1873.

An unpretentious mansion, considerably restored with many modern additions, but possibly partly 18th century.

Visited by OS (J L D) 18 April 1960.

The present owner of the building (Captain S Taylor, Sandside House) believes that part of the S end of the house pre-dates 1751, although a specific date is not known. The exterior of this early phase is masked by the later reconstructions and alterations.
