Rysa Lodge
Rysa Lodge is a villa on the Scottish Orkney island of Hoy . In 1977 the structure was included in the Scottish List of Monuments in the highest category A.
history
The industrialist Thomas Middlemore from Birmingham bought the Melsetter property (see also Melsetter House ) in 1898 , which at that time comprised the entire island of Hoy. On the first map of the Ordnance Survey from 1882, one roofed and four uncovered buildings with an enclosure with probably agricultural use are shown at the location of the Rysa Lodge. Based on these buildings, William Lethaby created the Rysa Lodge in 1902. It was intended to be used as a residence for hunting guests.
