Traditional Scottish log home built to withstand Scottish weather while providing exceptional comfort year-round.
This magnificent log home in Perth, Scotland, exemplifies how traditional log construction can be adapted to the Scottish climate and architectural heritage. Set against the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, this property combines robust construction with elegant design to create a truly exceptional home.
The home is built using Scottish-grown Douglas Fir and imported Siberian Larch, chosen for their durability and resistance to the Scottish weather. The logs are carefully selected and graded, with only the finest specimens used in the construction. The building features traditional Scottish architectural elements, including crow-stepped gables and a slate roof sourced from local quarries.
Inside, the property showcases the natural beauty of the wood while incorporating traditional Scottish design elements. The main living area features a magnificent stone fireplace crafted by local stonemasons, with a modern wood-burning stove providing efficient heating. Exposed beams and vaulted ceilings create dramatic spaces, while deep window reveals provide cozy reading nooks.
The property includes four bedrooms, with the master suite featuring panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The kitchen combines traditional Scottish craftsmanship with modern functionality, featuring locally made cabinetry and granite worktops. Additional features include a whisky room with climate control, a boot room with underfloor heating, and a traditional Scottish garden with native plantings. This Perth home perfectly balances Scottish tradition with modern log home living.
