Calda House, Scheduled monument in Inchnadamph, Scotland
The ruined stone structure measures 16.5 meters from north to south and features remnants of two principal floors with multiple fireplace openings and joist holes.
Kenneth MacKenzie commissioned the construction of this residence in 1726 for his wife Frances as an alternative to the more austere Ardvreck Castle.
The building marked a shift in Highland architecture as the first symmetrical house in the northwest region, setting standards for subsequent MacKenzie lairds' residences.
Located 475 meters southeast of Ardvreck Castle, the ruins stand at coordinates 58.164 latitude and -4.98688 longitude, near the shores of Loch Assynt.
Following historical conflicts, supporters of the Earl of Sutherland deliberately burned the house on May 12, 1737, preventing future Sutherland occupation.
