A lovely 1890’s promenade visiting outfit in amazing condition for its age. We are going to be displaying clothing from the Victorian era through to 1920’s flapper dresses this year. It’s been nice taking them out of the cupboards and choosing the best places to show them off. #victorianclothing #victoriandress #antiqueclothing #pasttimes (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPX8FnrkPN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking as though a white Christmas is a possibility now. Christmassy inside and out. On the other hand, the roads and pavements are lethal and we are not looking forward to travelling nearly 80 miles to Inverness for much needed essentials. Ho hum rather than ho ho ho!🎅🏻🎄 (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmEZ8dSt68o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Supposed to be heading below -6c over night but the fire is lovely and cosy so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! #stayingwarm #fireside #christmasdecor #cosynights https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCsL6VrefX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This photo shows the location of the house, right on the seashore with the river alongside and mountains behind. #myhome #whereilive #scottishhighlands #sea #mountains (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CflltKoLxn3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The morning sun reflected in the compass on the dining room wall. Finally, a bit of sunshine has reached the North-West Highlands. Not before time! #scottishhighlands #diningroom #diningtable #interiordecor #scottishhomes (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdiD0gHgVKq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the “Year of Scottish Stories” and we have plenty to tell. From tales of second-sight, local superstitions, fairies, folklore, witchcraft, magic and the supernatural; there should be plenty to keep visitors entertained! #YS2022 #talesofscotland #visitscotland #supernatural #witchcraft #magic #folklore #placestovisit #thingstodoinscotland https://www.instagram.com/p/CcNfPd_Ljdd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bath or shower? The room is warm and cosy and the big pot of bath salts on the shelf smell wonderful. Looks as though the bath has won! #bathuk #bathtime #victorianbathroom #bathtub #bathroom #mystyle #myhomedecor (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CavEt2BLt_b/?utm_medium=tumblr

A glimpse through the looking glass that can easily transport you back a hundred years or so. There is just something so soothing about candlelight. #candlelight #mirrorimage #mirrormirroronthewall #reflection #victorianhouse #myvintagehome #myvictorianhouselove #interiors #antiquemirror #antiques (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaRn59NLtFv/?utm_medium=tumblr

A glimpse of the family dining room. This room is cosier with more intimate proportions than the larger formal dining room used for entertaining. Sublime when lit by candlelight although we sometimes use the oil lamp as it casts such a warm glow. #diningtable #diningroom #victorianhouse #victorianhome #nc500placestoexplore #hiddenscotland #neverstopexploring (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNGosIrrs7/?utm_medium=tumblr

The cloakroom glowing in the February sun. Like the rest of the house, it will soon be open to visitors and we look forward to the sound of footsteps and happy chatter following the silence and darkness of the winter months. #ys2022 #northcoast500 #nc500 #highlands #historichomes #historichouse #hiddengem #victorianhome #victorianhouse #hiddenscotland #cloakroom (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaKPY_0reYN/?utm_medium=tumblr

It is the time of year when we busy ourselves washing, bleaching and starching the Victorian linen. It is time consuming but oh so rewarding to see everything looking so bright and crisp. #victorianhouse #linen #victorianhome #periodliving #historichomes #historichouse #interior #decor #oldfashioned #periodcostume #lace #highlandhomes #quaint #quirky (at Pool House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYoSpF2g_sz/?utm_medium=tumblr
