Dirnanean House is part of a private, traditional Highland estate located near Enochdhu in Moulin parish, Blairgowrie, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, 10 miles ENE of Pitlochry. The Dirnanean estate is situated adjacent to the 64 mile waymarked Cateran Trail. Dirnanean's steading house, lime kiln and shepherd's house are all Category B listed buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/search?q=dirnanean )〕 ==History of the Estate== A 1588 charter record states that Andrew Small was granted the lands of Dirnanean in Strathardle by John, the 5th Stewart Earl of Atholl. By the time James Small (1835–1900) inherited the estate on the death of his father, Patrick, Dirnanean had been passed from father to son for nine generations.〔 When James Small died without a direct heir, the ownership of Dirnanean transitioned to a series of his nephews until Francis Keir Balfour, the owner of neighboring Kindrogan House, purchased the estate in 1926. A distant Small family cousin through his mother, Amelia Jane Keir, Francis Keir Balfour continued the Small family ownership of Dirnanean into the 1970s. Dirnanean is now privately owned by a non-relative. In 1790, Kirkmichael, Scotland musician Robert Petrie (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".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Mrs._Small_of_Dirnanean's_Jigg )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dirnanean House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
