Fasque House
Dublin Core
Title
Fasque House
Description
The present house was completed in 1809 to replace an earlier house which had been demolished due to damp damage.
In 1829, the house was bought by Sir John Gladstone, the father of later Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone.
The house is surrounded by beech avenues originally planted in the 1750s.
Fasque House was possibly the first house in Scotland to have electric lighting and had an electric buzzer system installed in 1890.
The House can today be rented out for weddings and events.
The tour is a 360ยบ view of the front and gardens of the House.
Accessibility note: The House has a few areas that are not suitable for disabled access, but the House has a lift to the main function and bedroom floor and some bedrooms allow disabled access and walk-in shower.
