Amina Amber
Summary
Scottish architecture studio Loader Monteith has rebuilt a derelict stone farmhouse in the Scottish Highlands near Inverness, transforming it into a three-bedroom family home called Dulnain. The project involved reconstructing the ruined cottage beside the River Dulnain and adding a contemporary blackened-larch extension that complements the traditional stonework. The design balances preservation of historic fabric with modern intervention, creating a home that responds sensitively to its dramatic Highland landscape setting.
