Description:

Glenseaton Lodge dates back to the 14th century when it was originally a two-roomed miller’s cottage. John Forbes White, a patron of several Scottish artists in the 1860s commissioned Daniel Cottier to design, build and decorate the main drawing room and dining room. Cottier was a pre-Raphaelite stained glass artist and interior designer based in Glasgow and later in New York and Australia. His painting, stencilling and furniture grace the two big rooms he built along with the original marble and stone fireplaces. Examples of his work can also be found in the stained glass windows of St Machar’s Cathedral across the river from Glenseaton. Arthur Melville, an artist friend of White likened the then Seaton Cottage to that described in a short poem by R. L Stevenson.
