We welcome guests from around the world to our luxurious 6-berth spacious Victorian townhouse. Balmore enjoys an enviable location, 100 metres from the scenic Dochart Falls in the beautiful village of Killin. Just 90 minutes from Edinburgh or Glasgow, yet a world away, set within the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The space The building dates back to circa Eighteen Ninety Eight, and was a hunting lodge for the 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, Gavin Campbell and his guests. The Marquess owned and resided at the grand Taymouth Castle, 17 miles away in Kenmore, at the top end of Loch Tay. In more recent times, the establishment became The Tighnabruich Hotel, and by all accounts it was a lively place for the locals to unwind, drink and play music! Shortly after the turn of the last century, the hotel fell into disrepair. Within the past decade it was acquired by a local property developer, completely restored and renovated into four separate townhouses. Balmore enjoys a most prominent position facing the bridge and the main road, and retains the original front door space.
