The Dalhousie Estates have been in the ownership of the Earls of Dalhousie for over 250 years and at one time extended to around 150,000 acres in the Counties of Angus and Midlothian. The present Estates at Brechin Castle, Edzell and Invermark, all in Angus, cover some 55,000 acres ranging from the fertile agricultural land in the vale of Strathmore to the heather moorland and mountains of Invermark where the hills rise to 3,000 feet at Mount Keen, Scotland's most easterly "Munro".
As well as being the family
home of the 17th Earl, Dalhousie Estates is a family
business providing employment for over 90 staff, many
of whom live on the Estate. The wide range of business
activities includes the traditional land uses associated
with most rural estates enterprises farming, forestry,
property letting, shooting, fishing and deer stalking.
The Estate also offers a variety of holiday accommodation
a fine family house, Dalhousie
Lodge, which sleeps 12 and is situated at Edzell, and
the Shooting Lodge at Invermark.
In addition, in recent years a number of new enterprises have been developed. In particular a garden centre, restaurant and visitor attraction has been established on a 65 acre site at Brechin Castle Centre.
