Tarbat House

Tarbat House is a Category A listed building in the Highland council area of northern Scotland.

[1] A three-story stone mansion in the neoclassical style, it was built in 1787 by the Edinburgh architect James McLeran for John Mackenzie, Lord MacLeod.

Tarbat House was erected on the site of a previous mansion which had been built for George Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Cromartie in the late 17th century on the grounds of the demolished Milntown Castle.

Concurrent with the construction of the new house, Lord MacLeod planted thousands of new forest and fir trees on the estate.

[5] An arson attack in 1987 badly damaged the building, destroying the roof entirely, and while the east wing has now been restored, much of the rest of the house remains in a state of disrepair.
