HISTORY Originally built in the mid‑19th century as a Victorian Highland shooting lodge, Strathmashie House is a lifestyle property that has welcomed guests for centuries. Notably Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the estate in 1847 to indulge in grouse shooting on the moor behind the house. Strathmashie House began life as part of a wider sporting estate on the wooded slopes above the River Mashie and, over the years, has attracted generations of visitors drawn by its classic gabled architecture, river‑bend setting and easy access to the hills and lochs of Badenoch. Evolving from a private lodge to a much‑loved self‑catering retreat and, more recently, the home of an award winning artisan gin distillery, it now retains the feel of a traditional Highland lodge while offering the new owners the chance to write the next chapter in its story – whether as a private family home, a lifestyle‑plus‑income estate or a distinctive Highland hospitality venture.

A charming, fully renovated former cricket pavilion provides an additional three bedrooms and sleeps seven, while a generous two‑bedroom annexe with a large sitting area offers superb flexibility for multi‑generational living or guest accommodation. Outdoors, the estate unfolds across idyllic grounds that celebrate the surrounding landscape, with sweeping lawns, mature trees and tranquil vantage points that capture the glen’s dramatic scenery. Numerous outbuildings provide excellent storage and operational space, while a well‑proportioned paddock offers opportunities for equestrian use or hobby farming. Two further staff accommodations enhance the estate’s practicality, supporting seamless management of both the main residence and its thriving holiday‑let elements. The result is a rare and versatile estate that blends natural beauty, historic charm and exceptional lifestyle potential.

History Orchil Castle, a magnificent Category B Listed, Scots Baronial residence near Braco, was commissioned in 1867 by Rev John McDougall of Dundee and designed by renowned architect Andrew Heiton Junior, the property is widely regarded as one of Heiton’s most ambitious and successful country house projects. The estate later came under the ownership of Rev Thomas Crawford in 1907. Though the castle’s grandeur was twice threatened by major fires—in 1917 and again in 1967, which destroyed the roof—the property survived and retained much of its character. The house has experienced many colourful chapters throughout its history. In the 1920s, Orchil Castle hosted dignitaries including the Duke of York, the future King George VI, and George, Duke of Kent. During WWII, Colonel Dawson, then the owner, kept watch for enemy aircraft from the tower. After the war, shifting fortunes saw the estate briefly function as a foster home, and later, a local farmer allowed his sheep and pigs to roam splendid panelled rooms before restoration began in earnest. Description Boasting a commanding main tower, crow-stepped gables, and signature turrets with spires, Orchil Castle is set in scenic parkland with panoramic views sweeping towards the Ochil Hills.  All four façades present distinct aspects of the remarkable Scots Baronial design.
