Friends of Guisachan Home Page

DEDICATED TO THE ANCESTRAL HOME OF THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER.

Friends of Guisachan is a non-profit organization. The Friends was created to share information about Guisachan, the ancestral home of the Golden Retriever and to share news of the 2018 world-wide celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the breed. The breed was founded in 1868 by Lord Tweedmouth on the historic lands of the Guisachan Estate.

To mark the founding of the Golden Retriever breed, the Friends erected a life-size bronze statue of a Golden Retriever, placed alongside the granite memorial to Lord and Lady Tweedmouth.These two tributes can be found in the Scottish Highland village of Tomich, Inverness-shire along the tree-lined road to the Guisachan House ruins. Here is your opportunity to honor every four-legged “Guisachan Descendant” who ever shared your home and your love. Become a Friend of Guisachan via our donor page and be a part of this very special endeavor!

Through this website, we plan to share all things Guisachan ranging from the historic past to the latest Guisachan Gatherings and on into the future.
