The Artists Cottage
In 1900 the architect Ch. R. Mackintosh prepared drawings for a ' dream house '. These drawings were for a house that Mackintosh would probably have liked to have built for himself and his wife. The plans show no fewer than ten chimneys on prominent vertical stacks which contrast with the battered (converging vertical) walls of the house.
The house has strong sculptural presence in the highlands. Situated in spectacular countryside just south of Inverness. The Mackintosh theme is no mere cosmetic in the house, and has been carried through in the interior design. Classic white painted walls, neutral off-white carpet, and complete Mackintosh interior for the dining hall.

The house is situated in beautiful countryside just 7 miles south of Loch Ness and Inverness (the capital of the Highlands). Because of its central position in the middle of the Highlands it is an ideal place for golf (more then 20 courses in the area), fishing, hill walking, bird watching, skiing, hunting and sightseeing.
