Inverlochy

Inverlochy is a large, early 19th-century house with a 3-bay, 2-storey and attic main block, centred on a front door. It is accompanied by single-storey, single-bay wings that return to the rear, creating a back courtyard. The house is constructed of coursed rubble with granite dressings. Some parts of the west wing have been re-rendered with modern harling, and have replacement windows. The main (south) front features large windows with 24-pane glazing, with a similar window at the first floor level of the east gable. The front windows of the flanking wings have 12-pane glazing. A fanlight sits above the front door. There are two piended dormers, corniced end stacks, and Tomintoul slate roofs, the slates sourced from the nearby Cnoc Fergan quarries. Inverlochy was noted in the New Statistical Account of 1842 as one of four farms in the parish that had undergone “considerable improvements” in recent years, with buildings described as “very substantial and commodious.”
