Устойчивый дом Дирнанея, печи Лайма и Дом Шепари - все это категории B. здания [ 1 ]
Название Дирнанян, вероятно, является выводом гэльского термина Dur-Nan-Eun, означающего «вода птиц» [ 2 ] Или поочередно, но аналогично, Doire nan eun означает «птичья роща». [ 3 ]
История имущества
[ редактировать ]В чартерном отчете 1588 года говорится, что Эндрю Смолл был предоставлен земли Дирнана в Стратардле Джоном, 5 -м графом Стюарта Атолла. [ 4 ] К тому времени, когда Джеймс Смолл (1835–1900) унаследовал поместье о смерти своего отца, Патрика, Дирнанен был передан от отца к сыну в течение девяти поколений. [4] Когда Джеймс Смолл умер без прямого наследника, право собственности на Дирнанеян перешел в серию своих племянников, пока Фрэнсис Кейр Бальфур, владелец соседнего Киндрогана , приобрел поместье в 1926 году. Отдаленная маленькая семье двоюродная сестра через свою мать, Амелия Джейн Кейр. , Фрэнсис Кейр Бальфур продолжил небольшую семейную собственность Дирнана в 1970 -х годах.
In 1790, the musician Robert Petrie of Kirkmichael (1767–1830) published several Highland music pieces with "Mrs. Small of Dirnanean" in their title. The compositions were published in "Petrie's Collection of Strathspey Reels & County Dances".[5][6]
Dirnanean is now privately owned by a non-relative.
Smalls of Dirnanean
[edit]
The Smalls are a sept of the Scottish Clan Murray of Atholl.
The Small family coat of arms is described as "Per fesse wavy, gules and argent, a lion passant sable, pierced through with a dagger in bend proper entering at the shoulder, hilted or", which translates to: divided in half horizontally (in the manner of a fess or band), wavy, gules (red) and argent (silver), a lion walking with a forepaw raised, sable (black), pierced through with a dagger, in bend, proper entering at shoulder, hilted, gold.[7]
The Small family motto is "Ratione non ira", which translates to "Do not anger".[8] The Small family crest is branch of palm, properly erect.[7] A gold button bearing an erect palm surrounded by the Small family motto was recently dug up in a garden plot on the Dirnanean estate.

Queen Victoria's Visits
[edit]
Queen Victoria passed through the lands of Dirnanean in 1865 and again in 1866, on her way from Balmoral Castle to Dunkeld via the Spittal of Glenshee. The visit in 1865 included a brief stop at Dirnanean House before a more extended visit at Kindrogan House.[4] A plaque set into the hillside between Dirnanean and Kindrogan marks the spot where the travellers had tea on the 1866 visit.
Today, Dirnanean House provides hikers on the Cateran Trail with a hut for lunch or shelter very near the spot where Queen Victoria stopped for a picnic.[9]
Historic description of the estate
[edit]
An 1880 description[4] of the Dirnanean estate described it as follows:
- The byres and stables are kept remarkably tidy being paragons of cleanliness in their way: while the dairy etc., are a perfect treat. The various kinds of stock grace their habitation. The accommodation of the farm servants is really comfortable. The policy grounds are very tastefully laid out, and the avenue is one of the nicest to be seen. A fine burn runs along the east side of the steading, the mansion and the avenue and joins the Ardle at the hamlet of Enochdhu. The burn flows through a deep den, which is prettily laid out with walks and rockeries and constructed with 'creature stones'. Here, also, is a nice heather or summer house perched on a precipice, overhanging a still pool and from which a charming view is obtained of two small cascades. The approach is also very lovely. Ardle's grave is situated here.
The Perthshire Eagle
[edit]
For 37 years, until its death in 1908, an eagle was kept in captivity in a metal and thatched cage next to the Dirnanean Burn.[10] Taken when young from its nest near the Kirkton of Glenisla,[10] the eagle was fed mainly on game by the estate staff.
The Perthshire Eagle was a popular Perthshire attraction during its residence at Dirnanean. Several postcards depicting the eagle in its cage next the Dirnanean Burn were issued to draw Victorian travellers to the Dirnanean area.
Partial remnants of the eagle's cage can still be seen along the Dirnanean Burn walk.
Features
[edit]Dirnanean Garden
[edit]The estate's traditional highland garden area includes 1.5 hectares of garden plantings with 7 hectares of policies located 1,000 feet above sea level.
Features within the garden include a refurbished summer house on the front lawn, a walled garden, a burn walk with cascades, a traditional estate kitchen garden with an orchard, a greenhouse and potager (kitchen garden),[11] and a small museum of garden tools discovered during the refurbishment of the garden and the grounds. The summer house sits on a turntable that allows the entire structure to be pivoted to face the sunlight as it moves across the lawn.
Peacocks and guineafowls can often be seen roaming the grounds, and a Wellingtonia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) specimen tree bordering the front lawn is estimated to have been planted around 1870. [12]
The garden is accessible by the public for a small fee.

Dirnanean Burn
[edit]One of the finest features of the estate is the Allt Doire-nan-Eun (Scottish Gaelic for "stream of the thicket of the fowl"), a stream flowing from high in the Dirnanean hills southwards through a deep wooded gorge on its way to the River Ardle. The burn includes several cascades, a small island and a walking trail that runs parallel to it as it winds through the estate.

Могила Ардла
[ редактировать ]Рядом с бывшим входом в карет в Дирнановом доме, недалеко от деревни Енохдху, лежит могила пиктского воина по имени Ард -Фхуил - как сообщается, гигант, который дал свое имя в окрестности Стратардл. Ничто осталось, чтобы предположить большую структуру; Постоянный камень мог бы когда -то нести надпись, но с тех пор он выветрился. [ 13 ] Местные знания гласит, что в викторианские времена Лейрд Дирнанеян похоронил свою лошадь на месте в качестве садового развлечения. [ Цитация необходима ]
