Rod Christie, partner at Galbraith handling the sale, commented: 'The Cults is a very desirable house located in a wonderfully secluded rural setting on the Glenlivet Estate, and yet is within a short distance of the Highland’s highest village (above sea level) at Tomintoul where there is a good range of day-to-day amenities.'
Historical Significance
