Garth Of Finlarig

Garth Of Finlarig is a two-storey Arts and Crafts house built between 1936 and 1938 by Rowand Anderson, Paul and Partners, with contributions from Basil Spence, William Kininmonth, and Hamish Burden. It has a rectangular plan with five bays and features a single-storey dormered bay on the far left. The house is set on high ground with a wooded backdrop, overlooking open highland countryside. It is finished in white painted cement render with rusticated granite detailing and a deep basecourse of granite random rubble.

The prominent gable is located off-centre to the left and includes a round arched recessed doorway immediately to its right. There is a flat-roofed circular two-storey bay at the far right corner and a corbelled out bay on the far left. Catslide dormers flank the gabled bay. The rear elevation is gabled with irregular fenestration and features a boarded timber rear entrance door at the left return.

The windows are large, square, and rectangular multipaned metal casement types, and there is an oak plank door. The roofs are pitched with a swept profile, covered in Ballachulish slates, and there are coped rendered chimneystacks with clay cans. The house also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior, as seen in 2013, retains much of its original interwar design, featuring bespoke timber fixtures and fittings. This includes canted doorways and architraves, plank panelled doors with highly figured timber, and bespoke brass handles. The drawing and dining rooms have small plain classical timber chimneypieces. The kitchen and service entrance, located at the left rear of the plan, were altered around the 1970s.
