Beauly Castle

About this property

This historic Scottish castle is located west of Inverness, sitting centrally within its own 12,000-acre private sporting estate. The L-plan building dates back to the 13th century with later additions added in the Georgian and Victorian eras. The grounds are substantial and consist of lawns, which are ideal for football or croquet. A hot tub is available from June to October. The main section of the building, i.e. the heart of the castle is let on an exclusive use basis. The castle is spacious and romantic with magnificent views, great for families (with or without children) and groups of friends.  A small section to the front is retained for the owner’s occasional use.

You enter the building at ground level from the rear through a small porch. There’s a large, tiled utility room for drying wet outdoor gear, followed by a storeroom leading back outside the building to the hot tub (available for guest use from June to October). A large traditional games room with full-size billiard table and table football table are also on this level, perfect for keeping everyone entertained. Access to the main living space is up a spiral staircase.

Whilst the rear entrance to the castle is modest, once you’ve made it up onto the first floor you’ll come across a magnificent grand hallway with a wood-panelled sweeping staircase, which is more “Monarch of the Glen” than “Gone with the Wind”. This reception hall continues on, and there is a very impressive array of stuffed animal heads. The drawing room is comfortably furnished with fine antique portraits and an open fire; the perfect spot to discuss plans for the day ahead.

Situated on the first floor are all the reception rooms, including the dining room, breakfast room and kitchen. The dining room is a formal room with a fine mahogany table comfortably seating up to 18 guests.

The kitchen is located opposite and is a simply furnished functional room, with two cooking ranges, both of which have 6-ring gas hobs and double ovens. A kitchen table can seat up to 6 people in this room, but there is also a breakfast room next door that can seat 8 people.

Additionally, there’s a spacious tiled utility room on the ground floor which has access from outside and inside—a perfect spot for drying wet coats and boots (and dogs!). If you are thinking of bringing a pet, please do note the owners insist on dogs being restricted to use of this room only and are not permitted anywhere else in the castle. It may therefore only suit owners of dogs who are used to this sort of arrangement.Situated within a private estate, surrounded by lawn and parkland. Located 18 miles to the west of Inverness, nestled within a glen surrounded by hills in the country. With a general store nearby, the major supermarkets are found in Inverness. There are sporting activities available on the private estate, including fishing.

For the golfer, the nearest golf course is a few miles away at Aigas. Further good courses can be found at Inverness, as well as Castle Stuart. Loch Ness is close at hand, so trips to see Nessie are a must. The Culloden Visitor Centre is a popular attraction. Trips to see the Moray Firth dolphins on dolphin watch boats are fun for all the family.The Castle
