History
Jimmy and Mary Grant lived at Craigellachie for almost 40 years before Tony and Liz moved to Ratagan. Many of our guests fondly remember them both from previous visits. Jimmy was a fluent Gaelic speaker and named the house Craigellachie. It is the Gaelic war cry of the Grant clan and means “Stand Fast”. Jimmy and Mary lived in the house as Jimmy worked as the local Forestry Commission Gamekeeper. Prior to that, the house was for the Head Foresters of the area.
John Murray, son of William Murray who was the first Head Forester who lived at the house, has written a brief history from that time. Click here to read more.
