    Stopped of at the ancestral Home (Just outside Brechin) Of Arthur, Walter and William Davidson who along with Englishman Bill Harley, became the founders of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company.
    For four years the Davidson Legacy team worked tirelessly to restore the little house to how it would have looked when Sandy and Margaret (Parents of Arthur,Walter & William) left it in 1858 to make the gruelling trip to America. you are able to rent out the house for holidays

    yes it is an unusual place to stay, the modern building in the grounds has all the mod cons you would need as there isn't a toilet or kitchen in the main house, so you would just really sleep in the house and use the other building the rest of the time

    It's certainly different, If you stay there you have to be prepared to show any visitors around
