Tighnabruaich, Indooroopilly, Victorian heritage villa in Indooroopilly, Australia

Tighnabruaich is a heritage-listed villa at 203 Clarence Road, Indooroopilly, built around 1889. It stands on a block of nearly 9 acres overlooking the Brisbane River, bounded by the railway line to the west and Clarence Road to the east. The house was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley for his brother Henry Charles Stanley, Chief Engineer for Railways.

Architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley designed this residence in 1889 as a private dwelling. The property gained protected status when it was added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 2005.

The name comes from the village of Tighnabruaich in the Kyles of Bute, Scotland, where brothers Henry and Francis Stanley were born. Henry, Queensland's Chief Engineer for Railways, had the house built around 1889; his elder brother Francis, a former Colonial Architect, designed it. From the site the view across the Brisbane River toward Chelmer recalled the narrow Scottish waterway with its steep banks and steam-ferry traffic.

Tighnabruaich stands at 203 Clarence Road, Indooroopilly, with the Brisbane River and the railway line forming its western and southern boundaries. The house is a private residence, so it is seen from the street rather than entered. Indooroopilly railway station, opened in 1875, is the nearest transport point, and the grounds are reached by a circular carriageway off Clarence Road.
