Get a taste of estate life at Mar Lodge

Mar Lodge Estate, one of the National Trust for Scotland’s most expansive properties, is preparing to showcase estate life to visitors this weekend.

On Sunday 6 July, Trust experts who look after the estate will give an insight into what is involved in running such a huge property.

As well as the wildlife conservation work that is underway on the estate, visitors will enjoy forestry demonstrations. Rangers will be on hand to give advice on the best walks around the property and talk about their important work to protect and preserve this incredible, wild landscape. The role of animals on the estate will be recognised too, as dogs, Highland ponies and ferrets show off their skills.

For those more interested in country living, than country pursuits, there will be a rare treat as visitors will be welcome to tour Mar Lodge. The grand rooms, that are normally not accessible to the public, will be on show from 10am until 4pm. The spectacular Stag Ballroom is not to be missed.
