Summary

Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Coire Ealt, a fishing lodge of c1908, is situated on the E bank of Loch Eck, surrounded by trees, with a burn immediately to the S. The single-storey lodge, slightly altered in the 1930s, retains features of both periods and remains a good example of a sporting lodge of the early 20th century.

The overall layout of Coire Ealt has changed little since it was built. Long and low, single storey with a dominant piended roof with overhanging eaves, Coire Ealt is rectangular in plan, with a small projection to the rear. The front (W) elevation is 6 bays wide, with the right bay projecting slightly and containing a wider picture window. The entrance is central, opening on to the central lobby/reception room. The side (N) elevation is 2 bays wide, including a garage door to the large internal garage. The rear elevation contains a small piended projection, with a rear door and outside toilet.

In c1930, when the present owner's family acquired the building, some internal alterations were carried out. A single room to the rear became the kitchen and dining room. The large rooflight over the main room was also inserted at this stage, to allow more light. A lean-to porch to the main entrance was also removed. Later, a second stack was removed.

Interior: a number of good features remain. The central reception room, opening directly off the main entrance, is fully panelled in teak, with window-seats to either side and incorporating cupboards for sporting equipment. The doors, which open off this main room to the bedrooms, kitchen and a short corridor to the garage, match the panelling. The principal chimneypiece is also in this room, brick-arched with timber seats. The bedrooms, with fitted cupboards probably of the 1930s, have small stoves, that to the main bedroom in a brick chimneypiece. Floors are herringbone - pattern timber. The bathroom fittings are of c1930 - Art Deco style bath and toilet with Vitrolite to the walls. The inside garage has built-in cupboards.

Materials: schist rubble, cement-harled to S and E. Timber multi-pane casement windows, boarded main door. Slate roof, single ridge stack. Boarded and glazed double garage door.

Statement of Special Interest

Coire Ealt appears to have been built for Principal Mackay, Principal of University College Dundee from 1895 to 1930.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
