    Conservation charity, the National Trust for Scotland has today confirmed that the Hill of Tarvit Mansion House will close to the public on Sunday 28 June.
    Conservation charity, the National Trust for Scotland has today confirmed that the Hill of Tarvit Mansion House will close to the public on Sunday 28 June.

    Visitors will still be free to enjoy the gardens and grounds which will be open daily, along with the Kingarrock Hickory Golf Course.

    Kellie Castle, near Pittenweem will be open to the public from Friday until Tuesday from 13.00 until 17.00 – a change from the advertised opening hours. The charity recently announced that the castle, which was being considered for possible closure, would remain open for the foreseeable future.

    National Trust for Scotland Chief Executive Kate Mavor said:

    “We are disappointed that we have been unable to resolve the significant financial shortfalls at the Hill of Tarvit Mansion House and that it is having to close for now. The Trust is continuing to search for a long term solution and we are exploring avenues for alternative uses that are appropriate for a heritage property of this type. The public and members of the National Trust for Scotland will continue to be free to enjoy the glorious gardens and grounds, and of course, the wonderful Kingarrock Hickory Golf Course.”

    Hill of Tarvit Mansion House is open daily from 13.00 until 17.00 until 28 June.

    For more information about the hickory golf course, and to make bookings, visit www.kingarrock.com.
