Ardverikie House

Ardverikie House, nestled near Laggan in the Scottish Highlands, is a remarkable example of 19th-century Scottish baronial architecture. Originally built in 1870, the estate was designed by architect John Rhind for the Marquess of Abercorn. Its picturesque setting and grand design quickly made it a favourite among the Scottish nobility. The estate gained particular prominence when it was used as a royal retreat for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the mid-19th century, although their stay was cut short by the infamous Highland midge. Over the years, Ardverikie House has witnessed various ownership changes and has been meticulously maintained to preserve its historical integrity. In recent decades, the house has gained fame as a filming location, most notably serving as the fictional Glenbogle estate in the popular BBC series 'Monarch of the Glen'. Today, Ardverikie House remains a private residence, though it offers limited public access for tours and events, allowing visitors to experience its rich history and stunning natural surroundings.
