Dun Eaglais House and Gardens (About 5.69 Acres)
Dun Eaglais is an imposing but very manageable historic house set amidst the outstanding scenery west of Stirling and located just a few yards from the heart of the charming village of Kippen. The Grade A-listed Arts and Crafts House has been upgraded by the current owners and yet has retained all of its period charm throughout. An arcaded Loggia with its 'blessing' and date stones frames leaded and stained glass windows. The oak front door leads to an Outer Hall of part circular form. Directly opposite, lies the panelled Vestibule with its tiled floor, original wash hand basin, astragaled window and separate Cloakroom with Toilet; while a part-glazed door opens into the impressive Entrance Hall at the heart of the house, with its original oak floor, multi-fuel stove and tiled stone fireplace. From here, original panelled doors lead directly to the main reception rooms, each with its own original oak floor: the Library, Drawing Room and Dining Room, as well as the wooden turned staircase leading to the first floor.
The Library, with its three large windows within the drum rotunda facade, enjoys many fine original features, including in one part, fitted curved book shelves, two window seats and an ornate domed plaster ceiling, all separated from the other part of the library by a decorative ceiling arch leading to a lovely seating area in front of the fireplace and a further window seat in the corner tower.
An internal door leads from the Library directly to the fine Drawing Room, with its working fireplace, French door and original astragaled windows overlooking the Tennis Lawn and Pavilion. Returning directly to the Entrance Hallway, a neighbouring door leads into the large, square Dining room, with its original stone fireplace, large astragaled windows and internal door to the Artist's Studio.
In the Studio, the immediate impression is stunning, as the huge stone mullioned, leaded windows, arch beamed ceiling, panelling and wooden floor each vie for attention, even before the ingleneuk 'oriel' leaded window above the raised dais catches the eye. One window pane bears Cameron's autograph dated 1906, with autographs of other illustrious visitors scratched below. A large metal stove, vented through the original rococo marble fireplace, enables year-round use for a variety of functions. At the far side of the Studio, another internal door leads to a charming hallway with roundel window and steps down to the Artist's Entrance and D Y Cameron's printing room. Returning to the Dining room, a second door leads directly onto the Kitchen Corridor, while that to the main Hallway allows convenient access to the Cloakroom and WC.
