Here's a house ... on an island ... in a river. It needs to be seen in context, perhaps through the website of one of the agents endeavouring to sell it for £15 million. Try Vladi Private Islands and you will be transported to Eilean Aigas, on the River Beauly some 15 miles from Inverness, and a property constructed over the six years leading to 2007. There are many features to absorb, including the 22 signature 20' stacked chimneys, and the dimensions of the many rooms.

I wrote to Vladi Private Islands many years seeking a job to sell islands as a UK representative; alas there was no position available.
ReplyDeleteI’d never heard of Eilean Aiglas until I did some research a few years ago for an article on another island, Eilean Ban in Loch Morar, where the infamous Lord Lovat hid out after the ’45. In reading about Lovat’s life I discovered that Eilean Aigas was another of his bolt holes, where he carried off one of his kidnap victims and ‘kept her in a creel and got a drunken minister to marry them’ as Neil Munro put it in his novel The New Road. I wonder if that happened in this grand house?
