The present day look of Craigengillan is from work carried
out in the 1780's. This time saw the earliest parts of the
present mansion built and layout of the landscape such as
woodlands, granite stone dykes and the first of the stone
bridges across the River Doon.
Today the estate consists of 3000 acres of woodland, pasture
and water providing a diverse habitat. The farm, with full
organic status, carries a flock of 1200 black faced ewes.
The estates website www.craigengillan.com gives more images
and information on its riding school.
