Altskeith is a traditional Scottish country house, built of white harled stone with sandstone surrounds to the windows under pitched Aberfoyle slate roof. The painted wooden external shutters to the first floor windows create an almost French appearance.

The original part of the house is over 200 years old. The house was broadly speaking extended into its present layout in 1898, although there have been some additional developments with the creation of the magnificent reception suite with far reaching views, as well the inclusion of additional bathrooms and the fabulous one bedroom annexe/bothy.

The property has been used both as a primary residence and as a small hotel, although more recently it has evolved into arguable one of Scotland's best loved wedding venues, owing to its fabulous views, waterside positioning and abundance of Scottish country charm throughout the house.

The sellers bought the property in 2012 and have worked hard to return both the house and grounds to their original style and quality.

The grounds principally comprise sweeping lawns interspersed with a number of magnificent mature broadleaf trees which include a large copper beech planted to celebrate the end of the Boer War. The burn running through the property and out into the loch is a delightful feature with waterfalls and a rockery beside it. Additionally, the property benefits from a cedar wood hot tub offering relaxing views over the Loch.
The gardens have rhododendrons and azaleas throughout the grounds and behind the house there is also a dog kennel with a dog run set back in the trees.
