Strange noises have been emitting from Scotland’s “most haunted house”, where, secluded among trees and by the banks of Loch Ness, the self-proclaimed wickedest man on Earth performed his dark arts. There’s the tap, tap, tap of chisel repeatedly hitting sandstone, the clash of metal against metal, and the occasional grunt as 350kg of hand-cut curved granite lintel is heaved onto a 12-feet-high wall. Piece by piece, with remarkable attention to historic detail, using traditional skills and with more than a little help from avid followers of the early-20th century occultist Aleister Crowley – including some prepared to pay £40 for a stone retrieved from its charred remains –Boleskine House on the south banks of Loch Ness is slowly emerging, phoenix-like, from the ashes.
