Owl Cottage, Invergarry(Web) MacPhee & Partners UNIQUE DETACHED COTTAGE FORT WILLIAM Owl Cottage, Aberchalder, Invergarry Tel: 01397 702200 Fax: 01397 701777 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.macphee.co.uk PRICE GUIDE: £188,000 Set in the midst of spectacular Highland scenery, the subjects of sale form a striking traditional cottage with a modern twist. Originally built in the mid 19th Century as two cottages, the properties were converted to form one spacious cottage which has recently been thoughtfully restored/refurbished to a very high standard. Whilst reinstating the original cottage charm with open wood lined ceilings and a feature open fire, Owl Cottage has been brought firmly into the 21st Century with the creation of a modern open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, while the solid oak flooring covering the majority of the property and skimmed plaster walls add a touch of decadence. The property benefits from oil fired central heating (with underfloor heating in the bathroom) and Swedish cottage style double glazing. Owl cottage is situated just 3 miles from Fort Augustus which offers a range of local amenities, with Fort William some 30 miles to the west and the Highland capi- tal city of Inverness approximately 36 miles to the east. The area provides opportunities for access to an abundance of outdoor activities, with Loch Oich, the Caledonian Canal, the Great Glen cycle route and the Great Glen Way all in close proximity. • In Exceptional Order • Rural Location • Large Open- Plan Living/ Dining/Kitchen Area • 2 Bedrooms • Bathroom • Oil Central Heating • Double Glazing • Garden Entrance Porch 1.7 x 1.7 (about 5’6 x 5’6) Hardwood stable door with windows to either side.

Xonoon GIBBINGS & COY., LTD., 18 Bury Street, w.c. 190 0. TO Sir KENNETH MATHESON, Bart. OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

The assessment considers existing land uses which may be physically or indirectly affected by construction and operation of the Proposed Development. It also considers the potential to which recreational activities which currently take place may be deterred. 15.1.2 The assessment has concluded that the Proposed Development would result in temporary effects to sections of three recreational routes (Scottish Hill Track 235, the Monadhliath Trail and the route to access the Corbett Carn a’ Chuilinn) through conflict with construction of access tracks or their use by construction traffic. These effects are anticipated to be Moderate and temporary, reducing to non-significant levels during operation of the Proposed Development.
