Boleskine House, Manor house in Foyers, Scotland
Boleskine House is a stone manor in Foyers on the eastern shore of Loch Ness, with windows arranged symmetrically across several floors. The listed building displays traditional Scottish construction, though the structure now shows severe damage from past events.
The estate dates back to 1760 and changed hands many times over the centuries. Two fires struck the building heavily, the first in 2015 and another four years later.
The building attracted attention because of its links to the occult and rock music history, particularly through owners who shared an interest in esoteric practices. Visitors today come partly because of these associations, which continue to shape how people see the place.
The site sits in a remote location and the ruin itself is not accessible to walk through, as extensive restoration work is underway. Anyone visiting the area should wear walking shoes and watch for uneven ground.
Some visitors report strange sounds and unexplained sightings around the property. These accounts continue to draw people looking for traces of the paranormal.
