Old Photograph Faskally House Pitlochry Scotland
Old photograph of Faskally House by Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Faskally Estate was the seat of the Butter family from it's purchase in 1778 by Mr. Henry Butter. The main house, which sits to the east side of Loch Faskally and two miles from the junction of the Garry and Tummel rivers, was designed by William Burn and built on the site of the old house, built about 100 years previously, in 1831 by Henry's only son Archibald. The family estate and newly purchased Cluniemore and Duntanlich estates were then passed to Archibald's eldest grandson, his son having predeceased him, in 1885. The then current Archibald eventually sold the estate in 1911 to his younger brother Colonel Charles A. J. Butter who owned it until it was sold to the Forestry Commission in the 1950s. It is now owned and run by a Christian trust.
