For years, water draining off surrounding paddocks settled underneath the home. The first step was to cut vents into the old section of the inn to get air circulating immediately. Their approach began with architect Garry Dutaillis assessing the random-rubble building and compiling a building report, masterplan and redesign. John’s father, Keith, a jack-of-all-trades in the building game, and a mate, carpenter Tim Smith, helped with the restoration/renovation after he bought the building in 1993. Instead of muscle, he turned to an architect who shared his vision for the 1800s inn at the tiny settlement of Breadalbane, west of Goulburn. John Bell, who was a bruising prop and captain-coach of Dirty Reds’ first-grade rugby union side in Goulburn in the early 1990s, set aside brute force when he decided to restore an old inn for his family’s home.

The establishment of the Campbell presence in the region helped the king remove the danger from such a large central area with a habit of disloyalty.Īs a largely rural and isolated area, shrieval oversight was provided by the sheriff based at Perth. Before them, Atholl, Menteith, and Lennox, had been controlled by James I's uncle Robert (and Robert's son, and Robert's son's father-in-law), who had ruled Scotland for 3 decades, while James I was imprisoned, and James' father was too frail Robert had suppressed attempts to free James, and was suspected of assassinating James' older brother.
