Old photograph of Guisachan House in Strathlass, in the Highlands of Scotland. The original house on Guisachan Estate, in upper Strathglass, was burnt down by the Duke of Cumberland's troops in 1745. William Fraser 9th of Guisachan inherited the estate on his father's death in 1755 and built a new mansion house. The estate was subsequently sold to Lord Tweedmouth in 1855. By 1962 Guisachan House was a ruin. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
