The entrance to the house has a distinctive tetrastyle portico of fluted Corinthian columns and at the time of completion no one had seen anything like it in Scotland. The house has many examples of fine plasterwork and grand fireplaces such as the marble fireplace in the dining room executed by Sefferin Alken. The Great Hall was designed to impress the visitor and its visual impact today remains a stunning focal point to the house.
The Rose room is situated at the front of the house and leads into the Ball Room located to the rear of the building, which is very spacious and can accommodate a large group for dinner or a meeting.
The Bird Room on the opposite side of the house is ideal for guests to enjoy pre-dinner entertainment followed by drinks and canapés.
The Fern Room is a smaller room, which is located towards the rear of the building and has a connecting door, which leads into the informal setting of the adjacent Trapeze Room, which is suitable for serving after dinner drinks.
The Garden Room is the smallest room on the ground floor and looks out to the rear of the house. |
