Edinglassie House

Edinglassie House is an 18th-century house, extended to the east in the later 18th century, remodelled in the early 19th century, and further extended to the west and east around 1850. It was originally a symmetrical, two-story, five-bay, U-shaped house, which has been supplemented by a lower, two-story, three-bay wing with a crenellated canted window to the east. A broad gabled bay was added to the east around 1850, and a full-height canted bay with a gablet head was constructed over the central window on the west side. The house serves as a focal point of the Edinglassie Estate in Glen Ernan and retains much good interior detail, currently used as a hunting lodge.

The house is constructed of red granite rubble with snecked and squared stone, harled to the north and west. It has rubble and ashlar margins and quoins, with a raised granite ashlar door margin. Dormerheads are piended and polygonal, with stone-pedimented window heads breaking the eaves on the east side. Later bays have chamfered arrises. The main entrance elevation faces south. The original part of the house features a two-leaf, part-glazed entrance door beneath a decorative fanlight, with the window on the left altered to be bipartite. Dormer windows with piended roofs are on the east elevations of the projecting gables, and there are piend-roofed extensions and later canted dormers on the north side.

The windows are timber sash and case, with 6- and 12-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered in grey slates. Stone stacks include thackstanes and polygonal cans. The ashlar-coped skews have moulded skewputts. Cast iron downpipes feature decorative rainwater hoppers.

The interior retains a good decorative scheme, with moulded cornices, hallways featuring segmental-headed arches supported by decorative plasterwork brackets, panelled timber shutters and dado rails, and cast iron radiators. A variety of fireplaces are present, including those made of plain granite, marble, and timber, some with cast iron grates and overmantels. Bathrooms include early fittings and timber-boarded dadoes. There is also a panelled gunroom and two attic bedrooms with 6-panelled doors.

Adjacent to the east of the main house is an early, single-story, two-bay ancillary building running east to west. It has a dry-dash finish, grey slates, and a stack with a thackstane, with a piended roof to the east and a jerkinhead to the west. A further ancillary structure, comprising a game larder and office, is located to the northeast, incorporating three earlier piended bays (the game larder) to the east, and a symmetrical three-bay range with a central door on the west side.
