Location Kinnettles Castle is just 20 minutes from Dundee and 70 minutes from Edinburgh and the local area offers a fantastic range of things to do and see. Guests can enjoy clay pigeon shooting within the grounds or alternatively there is shooting, horse riding, fly fishing and golf at nearby Carnoustie and St Andrews. In addition there is motor racing at Knockhill, steeple chasing at Perth and international rugby at Murrayfield. The nearest town is Forfar, just 4 miles away, famous for Strathmore Springs mineral water. The ancient town is home to a vast amount of historical interest, dating back to the Roman Invasions, when a succession of Roman camps were established North of Forfar. The town also has numerous shops and a leisure centre nearby. Close to the Angus Glens, there is the annual walking festival in the summer which is fun for all ages. There are five glens to explore, each with unique characteristics. Hill walking is always popular and also visits to the many museums and cathedrals. The village of Glamis is close by and is perhaps best known historically for its association with the William Shakespeare play MacBeth. It is a pretty village and is also known for the fairy-tale like Glamis Castle, where Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother spent much of her childhood. The castle and grounds are open to visitors and offer a relaxing day out.

History This beautiful property in the heart of the Angus countryside is a magnificent example of Victorian Scottish architecture. At the turn of the 14th century, King Robert III granted the land to Alexander Strachan. The land changed hands a number of times over the centuries and records indicate a plain two storey house sat on the land with a dated stone giving the year of 1678 in the wall opposite the dovecot. In 1802, John Aberdein Harvey built a new mansion on the land, surrounded by fine parkland. John Harvey was a schoolmaster’s son who had made his money in the plantations of the West Indies and his own son went to India with the East India Company and became a civil judge there, later returning to Kinnettles. The estate was brought in 1864 by James Paterson who removed the first and second house and built the present mansion that we know today as Kinnettles.
