Bowhill House

Bowhill House

Deep in the heart of the Scottish Borders, beside winding glens and heathery hills, anenchanting country estate awaits you. And at its centre is a magnificent country home reflected in a loch with rooftops framed by rich forestry.

This majestic House and its Estate have been the centre of life in this rural oasis for more than 200 years. Bowhill enjoys a regal seat in the heart of the ancient royal hunting forest of Ettrick and is blessed with an abundance of glorious scenery. For outdoor activities, family days out, weddingsprivate events and field sports you’ll find this is a truly magical place.

The Borders home of the Duke of Buccleuch contains an internationally renowned art collection, including works by Canaletto, Van Dyck, and Gainsborough. There are relics of Queen Victoria, Monmouth and Sir Walter Scott as well as silver, porcelain, tapestries and French furniture. The Victorian Kitchen is on show and the 72 seat lecture theatre is in use for the full education programme and free school visits.
