Lochnell House

Not far from the shores of Tralee Bay in Benderloch Scotland sits Lochnell Castle. The main structure of the castle dates back to the 15th Century though changes were made to the building in 1730 when a ‘neoclassical’ front was added to the Castle, and then later in the 1780’s when the Georgian Castle and Chapel were joined. The house at some point in time was damaged by a serious fire but has since been mostly restored. The mansion has been held by the (Douglas Blair) Cochrane Earl of Dundonald since 1912, when they purchased the estate.
