Inside No 4 Steading Cottage.

No 4 Steading Cottage is a semi-detached stone house for seven at the Steadings on the Glen Dye estate, near Strachan in Aberdeenshire. It was once a derelict Victorian barn, and it has been brought back to life in vivid colour. The large sitting room has a wood-burning stove under a gilt-framed portrait, and in the kitchen and dining room a whole wall of old portraits looks down on the table.
