Welcome

A golden tower house, its gatehouse and a farmhouse, home to the Tennant family since 1913.

Innes House is a golden tower house begun in 1640 for Sir Robert Innes, at the centre of a 5,000-acre estate in Moray, near Elgin. The Tennant family bought it in 1913, and Edward and Zoe Tennant, the fifth generation, run it today. The house itself is let whole, for up to 38, with open fires lit for your arrival, and there are two smaller places on the estate too. The Gatehouse is a turreted lodge at the North Drive for four, and Viewfield is a restored farmhouse for eight with views to the west. Walled gardens, parkland and woods surround them all.
