Visit

Visit Hopetoun and discover a place of beauty, tranquility and architectural magnificence dating from the 17th century. It has been home to the Hope Family since the late 1600s and the present Lord Hopetoun and his family still live in Hopetoun House.

The House, a truly remarkable and beautiful stately home, is filled with stunning collections and sits in majestic grounds with nature trails and scenic walks. Events take place throughout the year, including The Present Event at Christmas, ranger guided walks, outdoor theatre, music, fairs and charity events.

Surrounding the House are 6,500 acres of designed landscape, parks and farmland, encouraging you to enjoy the history and natural environment of Hopetoun all year round.

Responsible walkers are welcome and a signposted cycle route passes through attractive countryside and woodland along the Firth of Forth.

Clay pigeon shooting, set in scenic areas of the landscape, is available for groups booking in advance, with simulated game shooting from Spring 2010.

To really soak up the historic atmosphere and serenity and sample everything Hopetoun has to offer, we invite you to be a guest in one of our charming holiday cottages, which will be available in early 2010.
