Learney HouseLearney House is situated on the nearly 7,000 acre Learney Estate in beautiful Royal Deeside. Built originally in 1747 as a country mansion with panoramic views over the Dee valley and south Aberdeenshire.
Photograph courtesy of the Royal Scottish Forestry SocietyOfficially in the Kincardine O'Neil parish, its position is 830 feet above sea-level, on the eastern slope of Learney Hill of (1150ft), 2 miles N by E of the later Torphins railway station. Accidentally burned down in 1838, and then afterwards rebuilt. It is the official seat of Innes of Learney. In 1874 it was listed as providing an annual income of 3264 Pounds. The house is the perfect setting to explore the many and varied activities and tourist attractions in North East Scotland, having been sympathetically and tastefully restored and furnished in a comfortable, traditional country house style, with all the benefits of modern amenities. Still part of the Learney estate, the house is presently used by Scotsport Travel Co, for a variety of sporting and outdoor pursuits. | |
