Picture by SANDY McCOOK 4th August '17 Your Home Feature. The Old Parsonage, Farr, Aberarder, Inverness-shire, home of Trevor and Heather Colbourne. While £870 today seems a teeny sum for a grand period country house , in 1882 it was considered a small fortune. In fact, it was so much that the Episcopalian Church building the manse at Croachy by Farr, ran out of money. Now called The Old Parsonage, the house has been owned by Trevor and Heather Colbourne for nearly a decade. During that time Trevor researched the history of the house. “An Episcopalian Church was built here in 1868 then eight years later they needed to build accommodation for the vicar. I found in the library, an old advert inviting tradesmen to come and help build the new parsonage. “From memory, the whole house cost £870 to build but they were short by £100 so had to seek public subscription and ask people to help pay for it to be finished.” This beautifully appointed home was designed by architect Alexand...

The ground floor front elevation , which included showroom windows , required extra stone , which had to be carefully matched. Lintels, coping and setts were also required, along with wrought iron railings . The reclaimed railings were eventually found in London. “The biggest challenge w...

Many of us have visited national parks while on vacation, awed by their grandeur and natural beauty. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up to such a breathtaking landscape every day? You never tire of it, says Leslie Bergman, who along with her husband, Ron, owns Spring Lakes Farm near the Olympic National Park in Washington. “The experience of living here is something much larger than ourselves, and we always wake with a sense of wonder and awe, which has never diminished,” she said. “It’s irresistible to live out here and not be outside, even standing on our front porch. We’re in a glacial carved valley , and we’re completely ringed by mountains. Just to stand out there with a cup of coffee, it’s really transformative. It’s transformative for your coffee as well.” [America’s natural heritage : a look at the 59 national parks ] People who live near national parks are treated each day to natural wonders that can include majestic mountains , sparkling la...
