General & History

Carnegie Castle has been owned by one prominent family for over 600 years, originally Norman they settled in this region of Scotland in the 12th century. An imposing family seat set in 1300 acres of walled parkland, the castle was built in the 1400s, and although parts of it have been destroyed by fire over the centuries, most of the original features and contents have remained intact. This magnificent and historic house lies between the unspoiled Angus coastline and gently rolling glens giving the house and its environs wonderful feeling of peace and tranquillity. The castle comfortably sleeps up to 24 in two private and lavish apartments which occupy most of the second floor. The Carnegie Castle Tower and the Carnegie Castle Apartment are available for exclusive use rental together or separately.

The castle and surrounding area offer much scope for outdoor pursuits. Many guests find they do not need to stray beyond the extensive grounds, embarking on long walks through parkland, open countryside and woodlands dotted with follies. As well as pursuing traditional Scottish sporting activities such as shooting and fishing within the castle estate there are other activities within easy reach. Several golf courses suitable for all levels are located within twenty minutes of the castle. The region offers stunning scenery and there are also plentiful opportunities for rambling, wildlife tracking and bird watching.
