The fact that much of the restoration has been carried out by Peter personally enhances admiration of his achievements. Now Ballencrieff is saved, and so worthily, may it repay its saviours for all they have put into it. We are sad to say that Nigel died, aged 90, on 9th January 2000. An exclusive video interview with Nigel Tranter talking about his work and Ballencrieff is available for purchase - please visit the Albavision web site for details. Today this unique historic home , surrounded by golf courses and castles just half an hour from Edinburgh, offers accommodation for relaxing holidays and honeymoons.
