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 the 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, other outdoor activities and
accommodation.
The Scottish Dark
Skies Observatory was opened on the estate
in about 2012.
