A GEORGIAN house in Portsoy with a fascinating history is opening its
doors to the public for the first time on Saturday.
Durn House is an 18th century B-listed mansion sitting in secluded grounds on Durn Road, at the southern edge of the town, which has been lovingly restored over the past five years by owners John and Sandra Scrudis.
Mr Scrudis said: “The house is a hidden gem with a wealth of local and national history attached to it.
“We have restored it to its former glory over the past five years, but still have lots of work to do. We hope visitors will join us to hear more about this very important local house.”
The opening will be part of Aberdeenshire’s Doors Open Day.
