Shewglie, Glenurquhart

Shewglie, located in Glenurquhart, is a house dated 1762. It is a two-storey, symmetrical three-bay structure featuring an advanced central gabled bay. The exterior is harled with polished ashlar margins. At the rear, there is a later 19th-century two-storey, three-bay wing that also has a harled finish with ashlar dressings. Additionally, there is a more recent two-storey, two-bay flat-roofed harled wing at the west gable of the original house.

The original house has a central entrance with an open pedimented doorpiece that includes an inscription, a marriage stone, and lugged, keystoned, and moulded architraves. It features a six-panelled door, a central window above the entrance, and an oculus in the gable. The windows have 12-pane glazing with margins, and the house has a simple eaves cornice, re-cut crowsteps, margined and re-coped end stacks, and a slate roof.

The later 19th-century wing at the rear has a pair of first-floor windows that rise through the wallhead under finialled gablets, with a decorative finial at the north gable apex.

Inside, little original work remains, except for some simple moulded ceiling cornices in the ground floor front rooms of the earliest dwelling. Modern decoration and casing likely conceal the scale and plan of the staircase.
