Bamff, Historic estate in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
Description
Bamff is a large Scottish estate spanning several hundred hectares that encompasses farmland, forests, wetlands, and hills. The property offers various accommodation options at different locations to provide visitors with different experiences.
History
The estate has been owned by the Ramsay family since 1232, when King Alexander II granted the land as a reward for saving his life. This long continuity of ownership has shaped the place's character across centuries.
Culture
The place reflects a commitment to sustainable farming practices where sheep and cattle are raised according to organic principles. These methods shape the daily appearance of the estate and show how contemporary land management intertwines with traditional approaches.
Practical
The estate can be explored via numerous walking paths, including the Cateran Trail that connects to neighboring towns. Visitors should plan for good footwear and weather protection, as the terrain is varied and Scottish weather can be unpredictable.
