Lauderdale is in Tain in Easter Ross, a historic Royal Burgh lying on the southern shores of the Dornoch Firth. The house, which was designed by Andrew Maitland the architect of many notable properties in the town, lies in beautiful established grounds, and is within walking distance of the town centre, railway station and coastal path along the firth.

Tain has a good range of shops and amenities including major supermarkets, a railway station and schooling up to secondary level. Inverness is less than an hour’s drive away and has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South and Europe.

Tain is on the Tarbat Peninsula, a promontory lying to the north of Inverness between the Dornoch and Cromarty Firths. The area is popular for its dry climate, wonderful coastal light and fertile farmland culminating in a coastline of sheer cliffs and sandy beaches dotted with historic fishing villages. This varied landscape offers many opportunities for a wide range of rural sports and recreation, while the coastline has a series of links golf courses, the most famous of which, the Royal Dornoch Championship Course, is a short drive from the house.

The current owners purchased the property in 2020 and have carried out considerable improvements to the house, while preserving its impressive architectural features including pitch pine woodwork, doors and staircase, stone mullions, partly stained glass windows, and a magnificent plasterwork ceiling in the former drawing room. Recent work carried out includes a new kitchen with wood burning stove, complete redecoration and the upgrading of fittings, and the creation of a delightful, self-contained annexe in the former dining room and billiard room.
