Glengorm

Glengorm Estate extends across a diverse island landscape, encompassing over 3,702 acres of coastal grazings, ancient woodlands and hill, including a shore frontage of over three miles. At the heart of the estate stands Glengorm Castle, an exceptional example of Scottish Baronial architecture dating back to the mid-19th century. Sitting within landscaped policies and lawns, with a large walled garden, Glengorm Castle has served various roles over time, including as a guest house and wedding venue, but most predominantly as a much loved private family residence.

Internally, the Castle blends historic grandeur with modern comfort, offering a series of three elegant reception rooms, eighteen bedrooms (six with generous en-suite bathrooms), and practical service areas, arranged over a number of floors and turrets. The interiors are presented to a high standard throughout and the Castle enjoys spectacular, far-reaching views across the estate and the Atlantic Ocean. The estate includes short-term, self-catered lets comprising four holiday cottages and three Castle apartments which boast healthy occupancy levels.

Alongside the short-term lets are thirteen long-term rental properties, part of which form an award-winning Affordable Housing Development. All properties have been well maintained, whilst preserving their traditional charm. Tourism forms a key part of the business, with the popular Glengorm Coffee Shop and Gallery located in the old stables courtyard to the east of the Castle.

The Coffee Shop serves locally sourced produce, and the gallery exhibits local artists. There is also a squash court. Agriculture is a cornerstone of the estate’s heritage: the Glengorm Fold of Highland Cattle has been highly regarded for over 170 years, with genetics exported internationally.

A Scottish Blackface flock complements the system. The farm is run in hand, with an emphasis on pedigree breeding and producing local beef and lamb, retailed through the estate’s established meat business. There are multiple practical farm and general purpose buildings, integral to estate operations.

Sporting and leisure pursuits are plentiful, with red deer stalking, opportunities for walked-up or rough shooting and both sea and loch fishing. Boats can anchor in secluded bays on the north western shores or on the estate mooring. Glengorm is an enchanting coastal estate of a rich composition and character which is recognised for its significant archaeological, natural and historic importance within the Isle of Mull.
