World War Two secret agents' house put up for sale

by Caroline

A Highland house where "troublesome" secret agents were kept busy during World War Two has been put up for sale.

Inverlair Lodge was taken over in 1941 by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), an army of saboteurs and guerrilla fighters formed to fight behind enemy lines.

Inverlair's residents were foreign nationals who had been unable to perform their duties but needed to be kept safe because of the dangerous secrets they knew about the Allied war effort.

Supervised by British soldiers, the agents were kept occupied with a range of tasks including mending boots and salvaging scrap metal from the surrounding countryside.

Estate agents Galbraith has put the 18th Century property on the market for offers over £1.3m.
