Historic House and Gardens

Milton of Finavon House is centuries old and is a Scottish listed property.  Originaly it started life as a small Butt n Ben, as seen to the left. Owned and expanded by the Finavon Castle Estates as one of their treasured Farm Managers houses, it then became the Dower House for the Castle. The buildings on the site have come and gone and the current layout was restored when it was sold by the estate in the early 1980's. 

 

Other buildings can been seen on maps drawn in the 1830''s and later, which have long gone. However many of the stones around the property have been recently reused back in the refurbishment and restoration of the house.

​

The grounds extend to just short of two acres. The current footprint comprise of a single story carmylie slate roof buidling circa 1500,  a mid 1600's two story extention was added with a single story west wing and finally 150 years later, the new Georgian facade was added. 

 

We can see from the style that the design was early in the the evolution of what we know as Georgian.  The West Mains House across the A90 is it is thought slightly later in design.

 

The house and gardens are currently being restored and are a work in progress
