Date:1872 - 1879 (c.)
Description:Henry Wright’s Memoranda book for the 1870s includes an ‘Estimate’ for the building of Kennels at Castle Leod. The total estimate amounted to one hundred and ninety seven pounds and thirteen shillings. These charges accounted for ‘mason work’ including fitting a ‘Boiler’ at a cost of seventy pounds and a ‘concrete floor’ in the Kennels and Boiler House. Work done by the carpenter amounted to twenty nine pounds, just two pounds more than the ‘iron railing & dwarf walls’ cost. This expenditure on Kennels suggests that the Sutherland family were enthusiastically involved in game hunting on their estates, and it is reassuring to learn that their dogs appear to have been very well looked after.
