Full Description
Newhall House is an A listed building and was built after 1788. It was built for Donald Mackenzie with architect James Smith of Inverness (1805-7). A staircase to the rear incorporates an earlier house started in 1725 for Alexander Urquhart, which passed onto the Gordon family shortly after completion. The garden has a sundial of around 1700 as well as a number of Italian wellheads of a possible 16th century date. The original house was situated by the present gates. The possible remains of a designed landscape to the S side of the house is visible on an aerial photograph of 1954, but not on aerial photographs of 1969 or 1973. The house was researched as part of an archaeological desktop survey for the Resolis Water Mains Renewal Project.
