Cradled by history

It is the land mythologized by Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, and the writers and artists of the Romantic Movement.  The countryside celebrated in the canvasses of Sir Edwin Landseer.  A favourite haunt of Empress Eugenie of France and England's Queen Victoria. But it is in the history of Scotland itself that the true story of Loch Lomond is told.

Loch Lomond Golf Club is at the heart of 660 acres of the 55,000 acres still owned by the ancestral lairds of these lands - the Clan Colquhoun - who can trace roots back to the 12th Century.  The Clan's current Chief is Sir Malcolm Colquhoun.

Since its completion in 1773, the magnificent Rossdhu mansion has served as home to Chiefs of the Clan. The Georgian manor house was built by Sir James Colquhoun (and likely designed by well-known architect, John Baxter) to replace the 15th Century Rossdhu Castle, ruined in a fire.  Until the late 1970s, it was home to the late Sir Ivar and Lady Colquhoun.  They generously loaned many of the original pieces of the furniture and artwork back to the restored manor house in 1994, making the experience of staying at Rossdhu House a cherished journey back in time.
