The original house burned down in 1921 and the new house, which was built in 1926, has incorporated into its design elements of Palladian architecture with pleasing symmetry and considered proportions, while many artefacts salvaged from the original house are now contained in its interior. Formerly part of Cantray Estate which once extended to 25% of Nairnshire, the house has historical connections dating back to the 15th century and during its history the house and estate has been owned by only six different families. Inverness is within easy reach and has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport, which is just 4 miles from the house, with regular flights to the south and Europe.
