Carberry Tower Mansion

Dating from the late 15th century and witness to numerous turbulent events in Scottish history, the Carberry Tower Mansion is an elegant edifice, blending medieval and Victorian flourishes.

Its 35-acre estate offers tree-lined driveways, sweeping lawns, landscaped ponds and meandering walkways, along with parkland populated with deer, pheasants and other wonderful wildlife. The trees, planted over three centuries, include some of the most celebrated varieties within the United Kingdom.

The building is seeped in royal history – owned by Queen’s cousin Margaret Rhodes, the Queen stayed at Carberry Tower Mansion as a child and played with her sister Margaret in the beautiful grounds.
