West Lothian — £15 million

A hidden Georgian gem situated on a designed landscape just on the outskirts of Ediburgh, Newliston is a Robert Adam designed mansion of some 13 bedrooms.

Within the 764 acres of gardens and ground is a portfolio of let residential and commercial properties, as well as parkland, woodlands, and leisure and development opportunities.

Sutherland — £4.75 million

Do you already have a house? Would you just prefer some land instead? Well how about this 13,000 acre estate in Sutherland?

There’s lots of potential here. Establish a windfarm, continue to fish and shoot, or take advantage of the natural capital, peatland restoration or environmental opportunities. There’s also a former wartime subterranean bunker.

Highlands — £2.35 million

This A-listed castle, named Glenborrodale, was originally built in 1902 and is a Scots Baronial mansion built of red Dumfriesshire sandstone. With 16 bedrooms and a prominent situation on the shores of Loch Sunart, there’s much to love.

The 134 acres of grounds include woodlands, an attractive pond, a helipad, and two islands!

Dumfries and Galloway — £980,000

A stunning period Arts-and-Crafts home in a peaceful rural location, Whitehills House offers five bedrooms within its Category B-listed exteriors.

Also included are 9.5 acres of gardens and grounds, which feature woodland, a tennis court, and a beautiful front terrace. Newton Stewart is a short distance away. Sadly, this delightful model railway is probably not included.

Aberdeenshire — £1.2 million

Drachlaw House is a relatively unassuming five-bedroom home on the banks of the River Deveron, and just 17 miles from the sea at Banff.

There’s lots to do in the 174 acres of this estate, which benefits from its own spring water, but I am particularly taken by the salmon-fishing on offer
