High Tea in the Highlands of Scotland...at the Boath House [02:37]
High Tea In The Highlands by Robyn Randolph From the minute we came onto the property we knew we were in for a treat. Four imposing, grand architectural columns highlight the greatness of this beautifully restored Georgian mansion. The entry and adjoining sitting rooms are a visual feast with much deliberate thought and attention to detail. Both chic commingled with traditional, contemporary wed with cultural whimsy, a most delicious ambiance ensues. The house is a sensory delight on every level.

Then there's the story of the man who acted as regent for the infant King James VI...and who was executed for his role in the assination of James' father, Henry, Lord Darnley. We also give you a chance to explore a mortsafe cage which was built to try and stop the bodysnatchers who undoubtedly roamed Greyfriars Kirkyard in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. One of the most famous anatomy 'dynasties' is buried here, Alexander Munro (primus) and his son, Alexander Munro (secundus) are buried here although the third in the line is buried elsewhere.
