THE WEST WING - Sleeps 4

The West Wing is on two floors and forms part of what would have been the Laird's private quarters and accomodation for 'principal strangers'.

History

The wing is full of character. The ceilings are low, some beamed, no walls are straight, the windows are deep set and the feel is of tranquillity and history. Dark deeds and strife passed by Fordyce Castle and it was a much loved family home for the Menzies-Dunbar families before the estate passed with an heiress Ann Dunbar to the Ogilvie-Grants on her marriage to James 4 th Earl of Findlater and 1 st Earl of Seafield, where it slowly became a less important property, before being restored by Robert and Fiona Ogilvie McVeigh-Crabbe as their family home.

Ground floor

It is entered via a small private courtyard, with seating, into a lobby on the ground floor. There is a fully equipped dining-kitchen with electric hob and oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and a table seating 4 people.

Also on this floor is a twin bedroom with en suite shower room.

First floor

Stairs lead from the kitchen to an attractive sitting room with feature pitch pine fireplace, comfortable settee and chairs. On this floor is the double ‘four poster’ bedroom with views over the ancient kirkyard of St Talorgan or Talaricanus and also a family bathroom with cast iron roll top bath.

A mix of family portraits, antiques and new furniture blend happily together and make for an ideal and ‘very romantic’ holiday destination.
