IONGNADH, from the gaelic; wonder, surprise, amazement, astonishment. Iongnadh was completed in 1897 as the home and business premises for the prominent Rothiemay merchant, Mr. Charles Pirrie. Built from the local Avochie granite it took 18 months to build. At the time of construction, the Rothiemay village hall and tower would have eclipsed the building in terms of height, however when the hall was destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt in 1920 as single story it leaves Iongnadh as the most prominent building in the village. Externally the property remains unchanged since construction, the fine pencil mortar lines around the coins and pillars are evident of the quality of workmanship of the day. A stipulation imposed by the Lieutenant Colonel John Foster Forbes was the grounds should be walled with Granite to a minimum height of four feet, one concession to this was the erection of ornate cast iron railings and gates along the south wall of the grounds, fortuitously the requisitio
