Another oil painting in our art gallery this showing the view from the gardens, making the effect more chateau like than Scottish Castle. Dunrobin is an odd name it sounds like a bank managers retiral home. Apparently in Gaelic it means Robins Fort. Parts of the building date back to the 13th century and it has been added onto ever since. It has titles like Britian's longest continually occupied dwelling or the largest house in the north, it has 189 rooms. Close associations with the Clan Sutherland it is their family seat and has a computer in the library for genealogy tracking. The gardens and victorian extensions were created in 1850 by Barry who also was responsible for the houses of parliament. Located in Sutherland by Golspie. |
