Thrumster House was built in about 1790, by Capt. David Brodie, tacksman (large leaseholder) to Sir John Sinclair. It stands on the site of a previous building, of unknown structure, but probably a small fortified house.
It was built on a fairly simple plan, with two back-to-back blocks, and a small wing to each side. The rest of the house consists of later, mid-Victorian additions.
There are sunken cellars to the rear of the house (which used to be the front!), from one room of which, a small underground passage passes under the main hall - unfortunately not an interesting early feature, but made by builders when the house was first wired for electricity in the 1930s.

Thrumster House is set in 20 acres of gardens and woodland within 10 minutes’ drive of Wick and less than 2 miles from the sea. This Victorian property is a former laird’s house with an Iron Age Broch structure in the grounds.

This beautiful house has cosy bedrooms, a grand entrance and an impressive staircase. Each room has traditional design and offers views over the gardens. There is a desk and a private bathroom.

You can enjoy walks around the grounds and the surrounding woodland, and there are several lakes and hills close by. There is easy access to the stunning Caithness Highlands and coastline, which are ideal for hiking.

Thurso and the north coast are a 35-minute drive from the property. From here you can catch a ferry to the Orkney Islands. The famous Yarrows Archaeological trail is located 2 miles away.
