A beautiful Georgian House, only 3 miles west of Montrose, it was designed for Lord Dun by William Adam in 1730 and has fabulous Victorian gardens overlooking Montrose Basin.

'Dun House' as it was often called, was built in the early 18th century for David Erskine, Lord Dun, a judge of the Scottish Court of Session. Designed by William Adam, it was modelled closely on the Château d'Issy near Paris. Its connecting principal rooms are characteristic of Adam's country house planning, combining comfort and convenience - still relevant today for entertaining guests.



The Saloon and adjoining Dining Room were designed with entertaining in mind, and are sparsely furnished as a result. Hung with family portraits and decorated with the most magnificent plasterwork on the walls and ceilings, these rooms provide a wonderfully versatile space for drinks receptions for up to 100 guests or a formal dinner for 60. Presentations, ceremonies and buffets can also be arranged. For larger events, marquees can be set up in the grounds, while the walled garden offers the perfect setting for wedding photographs.
