Scroggie Hall was bought by the current owners in 2000 as part of their retirement plan. Over the following 2 decades, they have worked passionately to create a biodynamic farm with a flock of breeding ewes which lamb annually in the spring, and the fat / store lambs are sold through the local market. The now retired herd of belted Galloway cows once produced spring calves but now simply enjoy their own retirement on the hill. The farm extends to about 130.32 acres which is all down to grass, circa 44.82 acres is mowable for silage / hay.

Scroggie Hall was once part of nearby Troquain Estate which is understood to have been dispersed over the course of the 1990s. Our clients have painstakingly transformed the farm under their membership of the Biodynamic Association which has included rewilding of Scottish black bees, creation of woodland pastures, growing shiitake mushrooms, management of ancient woodland, management of their livestock in conjunction with the natural environment around and spreading nitrogen fixing plants instead of using fertilisers and sprays.

The Biodynamic Association is celebrating it's centenary in 2024. A movement borne from the ethos of Rudolf Steiner, who sought to integrate farming with the natural world and cosmos. The principles are arguably ahead of their time, and especially relevant in today's world where soil fertility, plant health and diversity and animal welfare are emerging as key drivers for the future of food production and agricultural support.

The farmhouse has been developed from the former dower house dating back to circa 1790 and is of traditional stone and slate construction with a brick built extension creating bedroom accommodation on the first floor (1850). The main access to the farmhouse is via a porch area with utility (including shower room) and boot cupboard off; beyond is the farmhouse kitchen with a Stanley cooker, separate electric cooker and a range of built in cupboards and worktops with space for a dining table / sitting area benefitting from views out to the garden. The hallway provides access to the reading room and living room, both with doors out to the garden. There is a staircase up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and a family bathroom.

To the south of the house is an attractive garden split into various areas, predominantly down to lawn.

Within close proximity to the farmhouse is a self-contained bothy of stone and slate construction. There is an entrance porch providing access into the bothy where there is a large room with small kitchenette, sitting and dining area, shower room and sun room off.

The farmland extends to about 128.20 acres (51.88 hectares), rising from 155m above sea level to 242m on top of the hill. The fields are currently all down to grass with the exception of approximately 9.66 acres (3.91 hectares) of woodland. The land is classified as a mixture between 4(2), 5(1) and 5(2) by the James Hutton Institute.
