Dunskaith House is on the site of Dunskeath Castle, in Nigg. The main house burnt down in 1960 and all that's left is the former servants quarters - the building above.
Tain Museum's website carries this picture of the house in the 1930s, along with some wonderful memories about the House contributed by people who knew and loved it - here.
However, it's all a bit sad-looking and uncared for now:
Global Energy Group bought the neighbouring refinery in 2011 and is continuing to grow and develop the site around the house. So, private beach and seaviews aside, this isn't really a rural retreat...
Having said that, you get a heck of a lot of house and land.
Four rooms downstairs (two currently used as bedrooms) plus kitchen, and five rooms plus a bathroom upstairs.
PLUS 10 acres of land, two derelict cottages and a ruined chapel, stables, the private beach and a walled garden area. All for £230k.
And (mostly) stunning views...
