More About Culloden House
hospitality that lives on to this day: On arrival, guests could refresh themselves with a pint of fine claret and stay the night if they chose to. They always chose to. The house's history features spies, sieges, proud Highland chieftains and romance. Bonnie Prince Charlie buckled his sword as he dashed from the house to fight his last battle, and the recent guest list includes politicians, film stars and royalty. The house is decorated and furnished in Palladian style; the main rooms feature ornate Adam plasterwork and fireplaces, and here you can listen to Scottish folk music played on pedal harp, bagpipes and clarsach. Bedrooms are appointed to a very high standard, many with four-poster beds or testers. Dinners are a delight, featuring fresh and smoked Scottish game, meat, fowl and produce cooked and presented imaginatively. Close by are Culloden Battlefield, the Highland glens, Cawdor Castle, Clava Cairns, the Caledonian Canal and 35 golf courses. Dolphins wait near Inverness harbour ... and so may something else in Loch Ness!
