Scone Estates is a 400-year-old family business situated in the heart of rural Perthshire. The Estates stretch from fertile arable land by the banks of the River Tay at Scone, to the rolling hills of North Logiealmond.
A forward-thinking diversified Rural Business, the Estates is comprised of Farming, Forestry, Fishing, Property, and Tourism enterprises.
Owned and operated by the Earl of Mansfield and family, the main visitor attraction is the historic Scone Palace and Gardens, best-known as the crowning place of Scottish Kings and attracting 120,000 visitors annually. The Estate extends to over 18,000 acres with a mix of in-hand farming operations and Tenant farmers.
The Mansfield family are committed to protecting and enhancing the natural, cultural, social and economic environment of the Estate. Continued investment in the fabric of the business and an increasing focus on some of the wider national and global influences such as the global carbon crisis, Scotland becoming a Net Zero society by 2045, community engagement, Agro-Forestry, to name a few, are all shaping the future Estate strategy.
