Description
Strathaird House is an early 19th century T-plan house located on Skye. The exterior is harled with painted margins. It has two storeys and a three-bay front elevation featuring a central door and a later projecting porch with a round-headed window. To the right, there is a later canted bay window, and to the left, a recent glazed sun-room. The first floor retains 12-pane glazing, including the porch window which has intersecting astragals. Around 1900, a further wing was added to the rear. The property is enclosed by substantial rubble garden walls, and there are square dressed rubble gatepiers topped with heavy shaped finials, as well as round end piers with conical caps decorated with large and small sea-shore pebbles.
