Beautiful historic Scottish cottage from 1858. English gardens surround the cottage, which is open for public viewing during certain times of the year.Tartan Tea occurs several times throughout the year (various themes, I believe all are Scottish based).The cottage is also open for general viewing, with restored ceiling friezes (painted ceilings).I believe it's volunteer run, so be kind when you visit! Also, they will sometimes have local musicians in playing traditional Scottish music (no, not always bagpipes!).

Wonderful Christmas high tea was excellent today. This historic site offered delicious sandwiches and scones with our huge pot of tea and the clotted cream. Sandwiches were a rolled turkey, cranberry with spinach (not lettuce!) And cucumber w cream cheese.This was a special event and tickets were purchased in advance. Watch for other events at this beautiful cottage.

We have been here just to tour the home, for an exhibit of fairy houses, a Christmas tea, and a historical walk. It's a great place to learn about the area. And the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.

I have loved spending time at the Cottage. From tea's and children's crafts with Scottish themes, to Wee Quilt Challanges (that had entries from all over Canada and even Scottland!) or taking classes from different artisans, it has always been delightful to be at McDougall Cottage. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and know so much about the history of the cottage and the family that settled there so long ago.It is a lovely place to come in and stop for a cuppa and some history and see the beautiful murals on the ceilings.

Hosted a baby shower for a friend here and had a great experience! Such a cute venue that requires very few extra decorations or work for the host!
