This is a very rare opportunity for a limited number of visitors to book your place on a tour of this fantastic little house (tour duration will be approximately 30 mins). Old Auchentroig is more than another building associated with Rob Roy MacGregor and has been described as ‘a very early artisan interpretation of the symmetrical classicism which succeeded 17th century Renaissance styles. It is of exceptional significance in understanding the development of Scottish vernacular architecture’. Dated 1702 this Category A Listed Laird’s house was restored as part of the National Trust for Scotland’s Little Houses Improvement Scheme in 1999. It retains its datestone, with coat of arms above, and is unusually intact for a building of this age and retains a high proportion of its original fabric (including practically its entire roof structure). Booking essential and places are limited. Places must be booked before 5pm on Wednesday 12th September To book your place please email doorsopendays@stirling.gov.uk or call 01786 233 670 (Mon-Weds).

Limited disabled access – due to stairs.
