House of the Binns
Planning your visit
Access to the house is by guided tour only.
Since 1944, this grand home has been in the care of the National Trust for Scotland on the proviso that ‘the history, legend and memory of the family’ are preserved and that subsequent generations retain the right to live there.
Outside, there is extensive landscaped parkland to explore, which has sheep, cattle and a peafowl colony of about 30.
Parking is available a short distance from the house.
No dogs are allowed due to the sheep and lambs.

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We would love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what is good and where we need to do better.
