Situation
Main Lodge is beautifully situated on the edge of
Lintrathen Loch, at the foot of Glen Isla. It lies very close
to the county boundary of Angus and Perthshire, so is
perfectly placed to enjoy all that both counties have to offer.
It is a very lovely and scenic area, yet is just over 5 miles
from Alyth and 6 miles from Kirriemuir.
The area is well known as the gateway to the Cairngorms
National Park. The Angus Glens provide some of the
finest hill walking in eastern Scotland and skiing is available
at Glenshee. Trout fishing can be taken on Lintrathen
Loch and the nearby Backwater Reservoir, which also has
lovely walks. There is good bird watching at Lintrathen
and at Kinnordy Nature Reserve. Ospreys can be seen on
Lintrathen Loch and the area is a haven for red squirrels,
otters and geese. The loch is a nature reserve as well as being
a Wetland of International Importance. Also close by is
Reekie Linn, a spectacular waterfall on the River Isla.
There are a number of golf courses in the area, including
Alyth, Kirriemuir, Forfar and the championship course at
Rosemount near Blairgowrie.
Local shopping can be found at Alyth and Kirriemuir with
more extensive shopping and business services in Forfar and
Blairgowrie. Locally Peel Farm has a renowned coffee and
farm shop. Close by is the new Isla Primary School with
secondary schooling at Webster’s High in Kirriemuir and
in Blairgowrie. A bus at the end of the drive takes children
to both Webster’s and Isla Primary. Private schooling is
available at The High School of Dundee, with a dedicated
bus at Alyth, and also at Glenalmond, Strathallan and
Craigclowan.

Despite its rural location Main Lodge is not
remote. Perth and Dundee are easily reached. The
nearby A926 joins the A93 at Blairgowrie, which
in turn links to Perth. There are mainline railway
stations at Perth and Dundee. Edinburgh and its
airport are easily reached, as is Aberdeen, and there
are flights from Dundee to London.

The house was acquired from Scottish Water in 2004 and at that time renovations and refurbishment were
undertaken, with much of the roof re-slated and many windows replaced. The house was also linked to former offices
and storage accommodation to the rear. The current owners have, since 2007, undertaken considerable further
works. These have included refurbishing the kitchen and adding French doors to link to the garden and give views
over the loch. In addition most windows have been refurbished, the house was rewired and a new staircase fitted. The
impressive drawing room was created from two smaller rooms. Walls and ceilings have been insulated while retaining
original period architraves, and walls were repointed and parquet flooring laid in the hallway. As such Main Lodge
is now a hugely impressive country house, in a fantastic location and beautifully presented. With good sized and
imposing reception rooms it is perfect for entertaining. The accommodation, which is also perfect for modern
family living, is extremely flexible. Downstairs the four reception rooms are accessed off the hallway, other than the
family room which conveniently links to the superb kitchen, which is very much the hub of the house.
