Dated 1858. 2-storey asymmetrical mansionhouse, harled with
rock-faced dressings: 2 gable S front with bay window,
single-storey wing also with bay window, tower broached from
square to octagonal with spired slated roof. Long N service
wing to road terminating in quaint 3-storey circular tower
with conical roof. Slated roofs, traceried bargeboards.
Items 68-100 form B group with items 18-20 in original list.
An outstanding example of an early-mid Victorian Highland resort in a setting of great natural beauty, built mainly
following the opening of the Perth and Dunkeld Railway in 1856. In 1865 it was noted that the trade of Dunkeld and
Birnam had suffered with the extension of the Railway. The main development was thus between 1856 and 1863, when Birnam was the terminus.
Very completely preserved to date St Mary's Tower and Birnam House being the only serious losses while the only intrusion of any consequence has been a modern bungalow inserted between Birnam Hotel and Oransay.
