Castlemilk Estate has been in existence for around 200 years. Today, the principal business of the estate is letting out agricultural, residential and commercial properties, alongside our commercial forestry operation. During the last few years, the estate has undertaken major re-development projects to retain and enhance its physical infrastructure.
We have designed some pioneering forestry experiments that have garnered international attention and this drive for innovation is something we will be taking forwards into the future. Our Sitka spruce has such good growth that it is literally ‘off the charts’ in terms of conventional metrics and we hope to continue this trend and share our knowledge with others in the industry so that we can help Scotland be a world leader in timber production.
Our in-hand farming operation focuses on regenerative practices and aims to promote animal welfare, increased biodiversity and responsible land management by using a rotational grazing. We are at the very start of this journey, so watch this space for more updates!
