House style: Perthshire property reopens after £1m refurbishment
Balnakeilly House, a B-listed 16th-century mansion in Pitlochry, has opened as a luxury exclusive-use venue after undergoing a £1 million refurbishment. It is now in the hands of Danish property investor Dan Svenningsen after being owned by the Stewart-wilson family, who lived there for five centuries. It boasts 13 bedrooms and is set in its own private estate with 2,000 acres of land. Svenningsen, chief executive of Amvest, said the restoration has been “mindful of Balnakeilly’s history and original features”.
