This long-standing care for the land has fostered a flourishing wildlife habitat, making the estate an idyllic escape for nature lovers. The estate features a diverse landscape that includes arable land, forestry, and permanent pastures, alongside notable wildlife such as red squirrels, various bird species, and habitats of special scientific interest, including Rossie Moor and the Southesk River, known for its salmon and freshwater pearls.
