Large group accommodation Scotland accommodates 12 comfortably in a ‘fortalice’, a small castle, located on the edge of the village of Doune. We are part of Inverardoch Estate and the house has a private drive and is set in a secluded walled garden. Old Newton is an ideal self catering property for large groups. Family gatherings or groups of friends. There are 5 public rooms with plenty of space and wonderful facilities including an open fire and 3 wood burning stoves.
Old Newton is described in the Scottish history books as a 16th century L-plan fortalice, although there is evidence for some sort of building on the site from 1435. The house was built for defence and only in the 18th and 19th centuries, were rooms on the ground floor developed for domestic use. All bedrooms are upstairs many of them steep.
It has welcomed some of Scotland’s most illustrious guests including Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the enlightenment philosopher David Hume, and Sir Walter Scott who wrote The Lady of the Lake here. More recently it has been home to the cast and crew of Outlander the popular series written by Diana Gabaldon, who also came to visit. New guests will recognise the many scenes from the first series that were filmed here.
The house sleeps 12 comfortably but can accommodate 2 extra small people.
There are 3 bedrooms in the tower, which has a narrow spiral staircase.
The top floor has the Prince Charles Edward Stuart room, which has a super-king bed.
