Description
Glenshero Lodge is an early 19th century house, likely built upon the foundations of an earlier structure. It is a two-storey, T-shaped building with its main entrance facing east. The exterior is primarily harl-pointed rubble, with the rear of the house also harled, and features tooled ashlar dressings, some of which have been painted. A later continuous slated verandah, supported by wooden pilasters, now shelters the central front door. The ground floor has tripartite windows, while three small windows are centrally placed on the first floor, likely representing the surviving windows of an earlier three-bay house incorporated into the present lodge. The wide south gable has a three-bay fenestration. A projecting harled wing extends from the rear, with some later windows. A later 19th century two-storey addition is situated to the north and includes a two-storey drum tower with a slated, conical, bell-cast roof.
The windows are mainly multi-pane and the roofs are slated, with symmetrical ridge stacks. The central pair of stacks are horizontal to the ridge, while the outer pair straddle it. Various wings extend from the rear, including a west-facing two-storey, three-bay house which was likely originally a separate dwelling. The interior retains little of significant interest, although the thickness of the walls in the front, eastern portion indicates an earlier three-bay core.
In 1839, Glenshero was used as a shooting lodge by Mr James Evan Baillie of Kingussie and Glenelg and was described as "not so large a plan" as Ardverikie. The main, east-facing block is of interesting T-plan design.
