History

Built in 1892 for Lieutenant Colonel George Glas Sandeman, and now a Category B listed building. In 1946, the building became the property of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board, who changed the property's name from Fonab Castle to Port-na-Craig House. The castle was altered internally in 1954.^[2]

The building lay empty for many years, and was listed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland.^[1][2]

As a hotel

The castle is now a luxury five-star hotel, set in 11 acres (4.5 ha) (which is much less than its original acreage due to the flooding of Loch Faskally to create a reservoir).^[1] The hotel has a fine-dining restaurant of three AA Rosettes, and 43 guest bedrooms.^[3]

In 2022, the property was sold, via a Savills auction, to Fonab SPV.^[3]
