House of Dun

Nestled among Victorian gardens and woodlands, the 18th-century House of Dun stands as a fine example of Georgian architecture. Originally built for David Erskine, Lord Dun, the house served as the residence for generations of the Erskine family until 1947. Today, visitors can explore its elegant interiors, which house the Hutchison and Stirling collections, featuring paintings and furniture by prominent Scottish artists. The estate’s proximity to the Montrose Basin nature reserve adds to its tranquil setting, offering a glimpse into Scotland’s rich cultural and natural heritage.
