BUNCHREW HOUSE (4378)
Description
| See Canmore. The House is now a hotel. This description can be found on the hotel's website: Starting as a Highland black house, the House was enlarged to near its present state by Simon the eighth Lord Lovat, for his wife Lady Jane, a cousin of the Earl of Moray. It was completed in 1621. The house was built largely due to the ambition of Lady Jane who had her husband build two grand houses – one at Dalcross and one at Bunchrew. Although she preferred Bunchrew as a residence she had Dalcross (near where Inverness airport stands today) built in order to keep up with her cousin who was at that time building Castle Stuart (also near the airport). All three residences were finished in 1621. Sadly Lady Jane did not live long to enjoy her two houses and died at Bunchrew in 1622. The cause of her death is not certain – it might have been perfectly innocent or just perhaps, she might have asked her husband to build her another house!!! |
