An ideal location for exploring Loch Lomand and Trossachs National Park, the Schoolhouse of Buchanan offers a nice mix of original features with newer amenities and comforts. The stone house was originally built in the 1820’s as the school masters house, it has lovely back garden views along the Burn of Mar and easy access to the village of Milton of Buchanan. It appears the house used to be a holiday let at one point, you can view an old listing and customer reviews. Previous guests enjoyed the space and size of the home, proximity to Balmaha and the bright living room with access the the deck.
The galley kitchen looks nicely updated and I’m curious about a piece of desk furniture that appears to be a converted piano.
While I couldn’t find much history on the schools master’s house, there are a few pictures and records of the school house itself. The school house still stands today (also now operating as a self-catering holiday lodge) and is across the street and a few houses down. The historical pictures are protected, but you can see sterlingarchives.scot for more information on historical records.
