Old Kippenross

Old Kippenross is a magical architectural gem, quite unique in Scotland, tucked away in a sheltered sunny position in a wooded valley beside the River Allan.

The 'ancient tower' was built in 1448 and was confirmed as a Barony in 1507. In 1633 it was extended to a fortified L shaped tower house. It has been painted pink ever since the battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715, a sign that it was a safe house for Jacobite supporters. It is said that there was an escape route through a tunnel down to the river.

The ground floor is fascinating with a vaulted ceiling, an arched fireplace and a log fire. A spiral stair leads up to the 'Blue Room', a twin bedded room with an en suite bathroom and a small single room for a child or relation. Up again is the 'Tower Bedroom' with a king size double bed and en suite bathroom. The bedrooms are prettily decorated and face south with views to the river where roe deer can often be seen browsing.
