The Auld Poor House |

| Property: 4490 | Highland |

It was only in the mid 1950s, some years after the National Assistance Act of 1948, that it was sold and used as a large private family home. In the early 1990s the main part of the building was converted into Bed and breakfast accommodation. It was then that the new owners renamed it 'The Auld Poor House'.
In 1999 it was bought by Paulene and Gordon who, until November 2007 operated a successful four-star bed and breakfast. We made extensive improvements to the property including a complete renovation of the front cottage which is attached to the main house. This is know by the whole building's former name of 'Laggan Cottage' and comprises of separate, accessible self-catering accommodation sleeping up to six people.
