House of Dun, Category A listed country house in Angus, Scotland.
House of Dun is a Georgian country house in Angus, Scotland, built with refined plasterwork and classical decorative details adorning its walls and ceilings. The rooms showcase the skilled craftsmanship and ornamental designs from its era.
The house was designed by William Adam for the Erskine family in the early 1700s, with construction taking over a decade to complete. The building emerged as a major undertaking for the region during this period.
The house holds collections that show how people in this area lived and worked over time. You can see objects from everyday life that tell stories about the communities around it.
You can walk through the rooms at your own pace and spend as much time as you need in each area. The surrounding grounds are accessible for a full visit, and warmer months offer longer daylight for exploring.
A member of the royal family created hand-stitched woolwork and embroideries that you can still see decorating the rooms today. These handmade pieces add a personal touch that you would not find elsewhere.
