Description
An account of the resource
<p>This is a fine mansion with 3-storey, 8-bay central block facing north/south. 4-bay, 2-storey and attic wings to east and west. The impressive staircase hall leads to the first floor north and south drawing rooms.<br /><br />The mural on the wall of the staircase hall is the work of George Kennedy, the School’s first architect, who arrived during World War II and taught classics. The mural was intended to provide inspiration for the progressive development of the estate, following the School’s return to Gordonstoun after the war and on finding the buildings in a state of dilapidation.</p>
