Glenshiel can be found 2,5km from the little village of Haenertsburg, which was founded in 1887. The village is named after a surveyor, Tom Haenert, who had a little mill with a wooden water wheel opposite the present Meadows Café. After the gold rush, Haenertsburg became a dying village with only a trading store, school, hotel, bottle store, butcher and once a week, cinema and hairdresser. Haenertsburg is now developing once again.
Average altitude is approximately 1500 metres above sea level and the road to Tzaneen descends 620 metres in only 5.5km!
The original owner of Glenshiel was John Swinburne. He took up farming under the Land Settlement Scheme after the Boer War and was a keen naturalist, having accumulated a beautiful collection of butterflies. He worked as recruiting officer for the mines, because he needed additional income to supplement the little money he was able to make from the farm and the White River Mine, which he owned on the Iron Crown. The Iron Crown is the highest mountain in the area and is 2128 metres above sea level. Swinburne named Glenshiel after a lonely glen in Scotland on the road to Skye via Kyle Lochalsch. It was once the scene of a skirmish between government troops and Highlanders during the 1719 rising. The original farmhouse, built of wattle and daub, was altered slightly by the previous owners, Mr Charles Kingsley Latham and also by the Carst and Iuel families.
