Built Heritage

SEBG members are custodians of some of Scotland's finest heritage, for example:

• Blair Castle is Scotland's most visited privately owned historic home, as well as being home to the Bowmore Blair Castle International Horse Trials and Country Fair.

• Drumlanrig Castle, ancient Douglas stronghold and Dumfriesshire home of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, is one of the first and most important renaissance buildings in the grand manner in Scotland. Steeped in history, this castle, filled with treasures, with its estate and gardens is one of the principal visitor attractions in South Scotland.

• Dunecht Estates owns and maintains Dunnottar Castle in Kincardineshire, an impressive ruined cliff-top fortress and historic home of the Earls Marischal of Scotland, attracting between 30-40,000 visitors each year.

• Dunstaffnage Castle, near Oban, is open to the public and run under a management agreement by Historic Scotland.

• Inveraray Castle is one of Scotland's most visited Historic Houses.

• Roxburghe Estates , near Kelso, maintains Floors Castle, which attracts around 40,000 visitors a year.

Not only are many of Scotland's important heritage sites being privately looked after and maintained for future generations but they are adding greatly to our national tourism attractions. These outstanding examples of Scottish heritage typify SEBG's commitment. The castles, stately homes and other facilities are large tourist attractions and are maintained and promoted by the Estates, generating considerable benefits to their local communities.
