Boleskine Earns Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice 2023 Award

INVERNESS, Scotland - Aug. 9, 2023 - PRLog -- Tripadvisor, the world's largest travel guidance platform, has awarded Boleskine House a Travelers' Choice Award for 2023. The award represents the high quality of experience that visitors to the historical site have had over the last year.

Tripadvisor gives a Travelers' Choice award to attractions that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor. As such, the award is a testimonial to the importance of Boleskine House to tourism in the Loch Ness region.

"We are thrilled to receive this award from Tripadvisor," said Keith Readdy, Chair of The Boleskine House Foundation SCIO, the registered Scottish charity that restores and preserves the historical legacy and heritage of Boleskine. "It is especially gratifying to know that visitors to the estate are the ones who made it happen. We aim to provide an engaging and educational experience for everyone who comes to visit us here. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all those who have come to visit who have helped to spread the word on Tripadvisor."

The B-listed Boleskine House was severely damaged by fire in 2015 and sat open to the elements for four years. Following its acquisition by the Foundation in 2019, the already decaying ruins of the property were nearly completely destroyed by another fire, which was ruled an arson.

The Travelers' Choice Award is a distinctive accolade for the vast amount of work done since then not only to save the historical Boleskine House, but to increase public access to and enjoyment of an area of unsurpassed natural beauty and historical significance.

Over the last four years, the Foundation has raised funds to restore the manor and surrounding grounds for the benefit of the public. Recent milestones include adding a roof to the building, framing the interior, and pouring the interior concrete floors. All work done to restore the house is funded by private donations.

Last year, the Foundation also received funding from the Aviva Community Fund and the Highland Council to establish a wildflower meadow.

The Boleskine House estate is open to the public for self-guided tours. All proceeds raised from visitor tours go directly to the restoration project. For more information, or to book your tour, visit www.boleskinehouse.org.
