Scotland (PRWEB) August 31, 2004 -- A fabulous opportunity to acquire your own piece of Scottish Highland history.
For sale is substantial Highland Hunting Lodge, set in over 3½ acres of its own wooded ground, with access to an adjacent sea loch.
Built during the reign of Mary Queen of Scots as a hunting lodge for the Clan Macleod, the origins of this substantial house date back to 1543.
This property has witnessed the full drama of Scotland's colourful history, from the the bloody Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 and the romance of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora Macdonald, to the barbaric Highland Clearances of the late 1800s, when the local families were uprooted from their homes and forcibly deported to the New World countries.
This extensive and unusual property has, throughout this period of history, variously been used as a hunting lodge, a coaching inn, a land court, a substantial family home and, more recently, a country hotel and restaurant.
What a chance for one the Macleod around the world to buy back this property
