Cromlix Estate - Lot 3 - A diverse hill featuring commercial forestry and land suitable for further afforestation

About this property

  • LOT 3 BRACKLIN HILL (approx. 237 acres/96 hectares)
    Bracklin Hill has a diverse range of land uses, currently supporting livestock, yet prime for woodland creation. It neighbours Drummond Wood, an established commercial forest planted in two phases with, predominantly, Sitka spruce, covering approximately 72 acres / 29 hectares, with the lower section planted in 1996 and the upper section replanted in 2001 post-harvest.

    Adjacent to the woodland is fertile farmland let under the same grazing licence as the other lots. Access into Lot 3 is excellent with the main access road providing a direct link through the estate with a track leading west onto the farmland.

Local information

  • Located within central Scotland, Cromlix Estate offers an escape from urban life. It is situated in Stirlingshire, immediately west of the boundary between Stirling County and Perth & Kinross.
  • The estate's diverse topography ranges from the tranquil valley of the Allan Water to rolling in-bye pastures dotted with fishing lochs, to south facing and gently sloping uplands. The Braes of Cromlix and Braes of Doune serve as a stunning backdrop.
  • Despite its seclusion, Cromlix enjoys excellent connectivity, a unique advantage of its central-belt location. The A9 road (3 miles south) provides access to the cities of Stirling and Perth, and to both Glasgow (37 miles) and Edinburgh (47 miles). Dunblane's rail services connect to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the north, and on weekdays the Caledonian Sleeper service calls at Dunblane. Nearby airports (Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow) ensure convenient travel within the UK, to Europe and beyond. Additionally, Perth boasts an airport for private and business aircraft.
  • On the doorstep of the estate lies the opulent five-star Cromlix Hotel and Spa, owned by Sir Andy Murray. It offers an award-winning restaurant and recreation in the form of tennis and pickleball.
  • For the outdoor enthusiast both Stirlingshire and Perthshire offer abundant opportunities to explore the great outdoors, including hiking and cycling across a multitude of trails in the local hills. At the world famous Gleneagles golf resort (13 miles), three of Scotland's finest golf courses can be enjoyed, which in recent years have hosted The Ryder and Solheim Cups.
  • The surrounding area offers fishing opportunities such as salmon fishing on the River Teith or fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout on the Lake of Menteith. With an array of lochs in the vicinity, including those within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, water sports are available.
  • The cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Dundee and Perth, all within easy reach, offer a wide selection of professional services, shops, cultural and leisure facilities. Perth is home to Scotland's most northerly racecourse nestled in the parklands of Scone Palace. In addition, in June Scone Estate hosts the annual Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) Scottish Game Fair, the country's top country sports event.
  • Within a 25 mile radius there are a number of options for private schooling including Dollar Academy, Strathallan School, Glenalmond College and Morrison's Academy. For younger children Craigclowan School and Nursery and Ardvreck School offer schooling for ages three to thirteen.
