This fine and rambling Highland lodge, with its origins in the late Georgian era, was the home of the Davy family for over a century.
George Baynton Davy (1838-1907) was from Nottinghamshire, England and moved to Scotland after his marriage to Martha MacKay, the daughter of a local lawyer from Fort William.
George had inherited money from his father, who had worked in South America organising the extraction of guano (bird droppings).
Once the guano was collected it was then exported to Europe for use in the lucrative fertiliser industry.

A professional gardener from Kew in London was employed to landscape the grounds in the mid-19th century.
Evidence of formal Victorian flower beds and hebaceous borders still remain and there is an excellent photographic record of the grounds over a period of 130 years.
In the 1890s a riverside path was laid - now truncated and overgrown - running from the Lodge to the ruins of 18th century High Bridge over a mile away.
Two acres of the original gardens remain, containing specimen trees which are protected by a general Tree Preservation Order.
