View from Glencarnie

The Grant family, now Ogilvie-Grant and Earls of Seafield, acquired most of their land between 1350-1550. They remain the second largest landowners in Scotland. The family led the force which routed the Covenantors at the Battle of Haughs at Cromdale in 1690; indeed, many of their efforts as a clan were involved in keeping the peace between the wild Highlands and the rich Lowlands of Moray.

Glencarnie was designed by a neighbouring landowning architect and friend, the Earl of Cawdor, for a son of the present Earl of Seafield.

Glencarnie is a very stylish, modern, warm, extremely comfortable timber house within the Cairngorms National Park, with glorious south-facing views across the Strath to the Cairngorm Mountains.
