Description

Scourie House is a house dating from around 1830. It is a two-storey, three-bay double pile house with a later two-storey, two-bay wing at the rear and an additional mid to late 19th century wing to the northwest. The exterior is white harled with contrasting painted margins. The main entrance is located at the centre of the rear, now in the re-entrant angle formed by the later wing, and is covered by a late 19th century semi-circular porch with a semi-conical slate roof. There are also later entrances in the west gable and in the northwest wing, featuring multi-pane glazing, crowsteps, and corniced lozenge-shaped stacks in pairs on rectangular bases, all under slate roofs.

Adjacent to the house is a large crowstepped store with a segmental-headed opening in the south gable. There are also two additional stores by the entrance gates, both constructed of rubble; one features crowsteps, a wide entrance, an end stack, and a corrugated iron roof, while the second has a low-pitched roof made of local stone slates. To the east of the house, there is a walled garden with coped rubble walls.

It experiences an average of 6 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
