๐Eastend House, Carmichael Estate
Eastend House began as a 16th century tower on the Carmichael Estate, built for a branch of the Carmichael family, who had lived in the area since the 13th century. Over time, the family expanded and refined the building, adding 17th and 18th century extensions. When the direct Eastend line ended in 1789, the house passed to other Carmichael relatives, who continued to shape its character. In 1851, renowned architect David Bryce reworked the exterior, adding the distinctive Scottish Baronial features.
During World War II, Eastend House briefly served as accommodation for members of the Polish Army between 1940 and 1941. Eventually the house fell out of use, but its layered past still reflects the story of the family who built and inhabited it.
