Description

Kinloch Castle, a Category A listed building, is a magnificent Edwardian castle situated on a dramatic island setting, with approximately 18 acres of formal gardens, parkland, and woodland. The castle retains many of its original features, including elaborate wood paneling, stained glass, and a rare orchestrion. The principal reception rooms are located on the ground floor, featuring a grand hall, drawing room, dining room, billiard and smoking room, sitting room, ballroom, and library, all of which retain the grandeur and craftsmanship of the period. The upper floors contain bedrooms and former staff quarters, offering panoramic views of the island and sea. The castle's contents, a reflection of Sir George Bullough's global travels and lavish taste, include an eclectic collection of treasures, including portraits, furniture, and decorative items. The gardens and grounds, which are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, offer significant potential for restoration and could be revived as a working kitchen garden, events space, or accommodation.
