Environment

Leisure and Tourism

Estates are main providers of country sports in Scotland - a key tourism sector which generates around £200 million in tourism income each year, providing jobs and revenues in some of Scotland's most fragile areas.

• With the Scottish Borders becoming an increasingly important base for short holiday breaks, the Roxburghe Estate opened a 4 star hotel in 1982 and later, a championship golf course which is rated the 5th top inland course in Scotland. This working country estate also offers salmon fishing, shooting and mountain biking.
• Dunecht Estates are closely involved in the development of a new initiative, managed by FishScotland, which makes fishing more accessible as a leisure activity and lets fish beats on the River Dee by the day.
• Abercorn Estates, at Belle Isle Estate, County Fermanagh has developed a successful and thriving tourism business over the past 14 years. It has won numerous tourism awards for excellence, including the 2006 Northern Ireland Tourism Marketing Award for excellence for its new and innovative cookery school - The Belle Isle School of Cookery. At Baronscourt Estate, tourism is now an integral part of the estate's business development plan offering world class salmon fishing, pike angling and woodcock shooting. The estate is currently developing a leisure and tourism initiative near Cupar in the Kingdom of Fife in a disused quarry.
