Abertarff House
Abertarff House is based in Inverness, Highlands, and offers a professional and friendly team to help you have a great time and enjoy the experiences available.
Built in 1593, Abertarff is the oldest house in Inverness. Tucked away on Church Street, it’s a 2½ storey town house with a projecting turnpike stairway. It was owned briefly by the Fraser of Lovat family, whose clansmen fought on the Jacobite side at the Battle of Culloden.
Eventually the Commercial Bank of Scotland acquired Abertarff House in the 19th century, but after being split up for housing the site fell into disrepair. It was gifted to the National Trust for Scotland in 1963, and the building was restored by the Trust in 1966.
Over the past 50 years Abertarff House has been used for many things including the headquarters for An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Gaelic Association), a shop and the Trust’s regional headquarter
