Islay House, Category A listed country house in Bridgend, Scotland
The stone mansion stands at the head of Loch Indaal, featuring symmetrical wings, stair towers, and a central block with Scottish architectural elements.
Sir Hugh Campbell of Cawdor initiated the construction of the house in 1677, and subsequent owners expanded it with additional wings and modifications until 1910.
The property hosts the Festival Day during Feis Ile in May and the Islay Book Festival in August, including music performances and charity recitals.
Visitors need to contact +44 1496 810287 or info@islayhouse.co.uk to make dinner reservations, as the establishment requires advance bookings.
Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and Princess Margaret made a private visit to the house in 1980.
