It’s testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and volunteers at this special place who put in so much effort to make it a memorable experience for visitors who come to see one of Scotland’s largest tower houses and admire its traditional walled garden.

“With a packed scheduled of events taking place from March to December each year including our recent history and archaeology weekends, and upcoming events such as our family Halloween trail, there really is something for everyone to enjoy and create long lasting memories.

"We’re grateful to the National Trust for Scotland members and supporters whose generous ongoing support makes it possible for our charity to continue our vital work to care for, protect and share Scotland’s nature, beauty and heritage for everyone to enjoy.”
