Together with our built properties we have in excess of 150 miles of tracks, 500 miles of fencelines, 100 bridges, 40 miles of water pipe and thousands of gates to maintain. Addressing this responsibility with a finite workforce and budget requires skilled management and a long term strategic plan.

Maintenance and preservation of the built estate is, therefore, a very important part of our business. The work is shared between locally retained and self employed tradesmen with assistance from specialists when required. We also presume in favour of regional suppliers for the vast majority of our purchases.

Substantially, the design of landscape and communities which you see within and around Atholl today has been developed over the last three hundred years. The route of tracks, position and shape of woodlands, crossing points for bridges, location of houses and farms are all features which have been carefully moulded through generations of management on the Estate. Highland Perthshire is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and this in part is due to the work which we are honoured to continue today.
