Summary edit

Description
English: Stronvar House, Loch Voil. The imposing Stronvar House, in Scottish Baronial style, still looks in good order from a distance. The golden-coloured weather vane is original, dating from 1850. It was refurbished, re-gilded and then re-erected on 21st September 2001 by G D Armitage (Clocks and Bells) Ltd of Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire. They are the recognised experts in this work and also re-gilded the spike on the other tower.

The vane is the same pattern as on all other David Bryce (the Architect) designed houses. [Many thanks to Colin Gompertz, "The Laird"].

The house is still occupied by 'the Laird'. It was a Scottish Youth Hostels Association property between 1954 and 1973-1974. [Thanks - John Martin].
