An entirely original artistic interior of sculpted wood fixtures and fittings of outstanding design and craftsmanship which is considered to display artist Tim Stead s best work.
Historic Environment Scotland
The only domestic scheme, wholly conceived and completed by Stead for himself, that is largely unaltered since his death and which will remain unrivalled in his body of work.
