PROPERTY: Cosy cottage on banks of Loch Lomond hits market

Located close to Arrochar and Tarbet, Stucan-T-Iobart (pronounced stookan cheepurt) sits within two acres of land and has views across Loch Lomond over to Ben Lomond.

The cottage was built amidst the great Scottish Rebellion of 1745, the year General George Wade, the English Commander-in-Chief, was ordered by the King to deal with the Scottish highlanders.

Wade built forts, bridges and roads to allow troops to patrol the area and the remains of one of these roads can still be found within the cottage grounds.

A yew tree which Robert the Bruce rested under while he entertained his troops as he waited until they were safely across Loch Lomond is situated at Stucan-T-Iobart.

Looking for offers over £445,000, the home contains three bedrooms, a large lounge, a spacious semi open-plan kitchen and dining room, and a family bathroom.
