We are delighted to share that Trossachs Steading has been featured in the latest edition of Alder. 

Having visited the site herself, Mary Arnold-Forster reflects on the project and its place within the wider rural landsape. The design involved the sesitive restoration and retention of the original stone walls, reimagining the former brye and factory into a modern dual office and music studio. A stand-alone structure within a larger private estate, this project is a testament to how sensitive conservation can be used to revive historic disused buildings.

We are delighted to announce that three new build plots, part of our New Houses by Aros Burn proposal, are now officially on the market!

Varied in size, each plot has been carefully designed to sit comfortably and sensitively within Mull’s rural landscape. Positioned above the coastal town of Tobermory, the sites are conveinently accessible from the main road and offer far-reaching views across Mull.
