| Description |
In 1837 Lewis had recorded Lough Esk as the seat of T. Brooke. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in 1857, the buildings at Lough Eske were valued at £44 15s. Thomas Young Brooke subsequently undertook further development at the site. In 1906 the owner was Major General H.G. White and the property was valued at £90. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage provides a detailed account of the occupation of this site from the building of a house by the Knox family in 1621. It notes that the building was run as a hotel in the early part of the 20th century until it was badly damaged by fire in 1939. It was restored in the early years of the 21st century and now functions as a luxury hotel. |
