Property info

Raasay House itself has a interesting history and by choosing to stay here you will become a part of it. The house is a former clan seat and was home to the Macleod Clan chief of Raasay. Macleod built a house on this site in the 1500's. That first house was raised to the ground in 1746 by government forces following the battle of Culloden. The Macleod chief had been accused of harboring and assisting Bonnie Prince Charlie during the period of hiding following the battle. Macleod starting work rebuilding the house in 1747. In 1773 the then Macleod chief hosted Johnson and Boswell on their famous and well documented tour of the Hebrides. In 1843 The last Laird, John Macleod, left the house and emigrated with his family to Australia. In 2009 at the end of a major refurbishment the building was devastated by fire again. Following the rebuild the house reopened in 2013 providing a mixture of accommodation styles for a range of budgets as well as outdoor activities. The house has passed through many hands and is now owned by the community. The business has been operated by a local family for the passed 30 years.
