History to the present day

Highfield House is a traditional Scottish Manse dating from 1730. As such it is steeped in history as is the whole area surrounding the Manse. 

The new Manse house as it stands now was established in 1750 due to the parish being enlarged. 70 years on we see the Manse itself undergoing enlargement. Here is the ' Statistical Account of 1844' description...

"and this has been done in a manner highly creditable to taste and liberality, the internal arrangements are in commodious accordance, and in external appearance, it is now a very handsome structure, nowise unworthy of the conspicuous and commanding situation that it now occupies."

Food and Drinks

Full English/Scottish breakfast served around the large dining room table. It includes fruit from the garden, home made jams and bread, free range eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms and, by request, black pudding and haggis.

Pre arrangement for evening dinner can be made. 

Grounds and gardens

Surrounded by 3 acres of gardens including lawns, shrubs, roses and the potager where the fruits and vegetables for the house are grown. Outdoor seating available.

Other facilities

An Astroturf tennis court  is available for guests enjoyment with free use of rackets and balls. Enjoy the comfortable drawing room with open fire to relax and unwind.
