Title

Durn House - UPDATED OPENINGS

Description

Durn House is a Georgian Mansion-house in the Adams style, built in 1770 by the Dunbars of Durn. There has been a Durn House on this site since at least 1529 and probably beyond that, as there is 13th-century medieval dootcot in the woodland adjacent to the house (part of the original estate).

Bought by Mr and Mrs Scrudis, Durn House underwent a major restoration and refurbishment project lasting 6 years and now operates as a luxury guest house. Many original features remain inside such as the Georgian ceiling rose in the Grand Hall, the cantilevered stone staircase, the Portsoy marble fireplace as well as a curious key stone dating to 1603.

Durn House has an exciting history, with strong attachments to the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Battle of Culloden, as well as the folk song McPherson's Rant.�
