Strathblane Country House is a late Victorian estate house near the village of Strathblane. It was built in 1874 as a mansion house[1] for Robert Jameson of the law firm Jameson, Maclae & Baird (which today operates under the name Morton Fraser).[2][3]
Back then the building was known as Ardunan House,[4] taking its name from nearby Loch Ardinning (of which Ardunan and Ardinan – from Gaelic àird dùnain 'height of the small hill or fort' – are variants).[5] The former gatekeeper's lodge, Ardunan Lodge, and Ardunan Farm still bear the name 'Ardunan'.
Much later it was converted into an hotel, initially known as the Ardunan Hotel[6] until the company's dissolution in 1977,[7] then as the The Country Club Hotel,[1] Strathblane Country House Hotel and latterly Strathblane Country House.[8]
It has hosted a number of celebrity events over the years including the wedding of Peter Capaldi and Elaine Collins in 1991[9] and several episodes of River City.[10]
