自我介绍

Nestled in stunning Aberdeenshire countryside, Forglen Estate is a unique selection of private properties, farmlands, forestry and holiday cottages. The lands originate from 1211, with the original castle being built around 1346. This was replaced by the house that is standing today, finished in 1839 by Sir Robert Abercromby. The house is still in private residence, and not open to public, however we have a selection of holiday homes available to rent throughout the year. We are also a working farm, with a biomass heater that connects to some of the holiday cottages, and private fishing bookable upon request. We are a pro-wildlife Estate, and ask that all dogs be kept on leads if they have a tendency to roam, as we have an abundance of ground nesting birds along with fox, badger, deer, red squirrel, pine martens, and free range farm birds in different properties. We have a Walled Garden and a Glen Garden which is worth a visit and open for any holiday guest on Forglen Estate, just remember to shut the door to the Walled Garden before the rabbits sneak in! The Estate has a rustic modesty, with single track roads and pheasants watching you go by. You will hear owls hooting in the night, and often see deer prancing through the fields. We have the Abercromby Mausoleum to admire from the outside, however there is no entry inside as this is the one building still in ownership of the Clan Abercomby. The name Abercromby is of Pictish origin, meaning "a place on the bendy river" which is very suiting of Forglen Estate. There is private fishing which can be booked upon prior request, or you can just enjoy long walks along the river edge and see what wildlife you can spot in (and out) of the river Deveron. There is an office at Home Farm which is open periodically however I work remotely all over the Estate so it doesn't have specific open times. I am always contactable on my mobile though. If you have any further queries about the Estate, or a particular holiday cottage, don't hesitate to contact me.
