| Biography | "Bunrannoch," was the
home of Mary Pack McNairy , the daughter of
George Willis Pack and
Frances Farman. She was born on September 23, 1860 in Fort Gratiot,
Michigan and died in Manchester, Vermont on November 14, 1939.
Mary Pack married Amos Bush McNairy, who worked for Standard Oil Paint
Company located at 429 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. They had two
children, Gladys McNairy, born June 1887, in Ohio, and Elizabeth
McNairy, born September 8, 1888, in Cleveland, Ohio. The 1930 census of
Manchester, Vermont shows both Amos, age 75 and his wife, Mary, age 69,
living in Manchester in "Bunrannoch." Extracted from The Book of Clevelanders, A Biographical Dictionary of Living Men of the City of Cleveland, Burrows Book Company, 1914:

| Context | Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, "Bunrannoch," a c. 9,000 square foot, three story structure is actually three houses that were joined together in 1921 by Amos and Mary McNairy. The final eclectic house was used as a summer retreat by the McNairy family for many years and was occupied by the family as a permanent residence in their late years.. The large rambling home that is backed by Bromley Mountain and is not unlike many "summer" homes that were kept by wealthy families in Vermont and Main, where the heat of summer was short-lived and the breezes, cool. "Bunrannoch" is also the name given to "Bunrannoch House" a hunting lodge situated on the outskirts of Kinloch Rannoch and near Loch Rannoch and the town of Pitlochry, an area of Scotland that resembles the Vermont region. Just what connection, if any, Amos McNairy had with the area around Pitlochry, is not known. | ||
