Welcome to Murthly Estate

Situated near Dunkeld in Highland Perthshire, Murthly Estate is one hour from the Central Belt, and truly rural and Highland in nature. The landscaped grounds around Murthly Castle, together with endless woods, rivers and hills, make the Estate a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Murthly Castle and the Chapel of St. Anthony the Eremite are at the core of the Estate, and a highly sought-after venue for filming, weddings, corporate entertainment and conferences, and private hire. Hardly surprising when you consider the attractions of the castle's reception rooms, walled garden, tree-lined avenues and extensive grounds.

Salmon and trout fishing are available on the River Tay, River Braan and Balhomish Dam. Game shooting and stalking are available across the wider Estate, which extends to 9,500 acres.

Murthly Sawmill, owned and operated by the Estate, has a long-standing reputation for quality fencing and garden products.

Murthly Fishings

With our five-year average having risen for three years in a row (2024, 2025 and 2026), play your part in the excitement of rising catch figures by booking your salmon fishing at Murthly Beat 1 and Murthly Beat 2 on the River Tay. Phone Eilidh at our office on 07553 520 575 or send her an e-mail.. It's not all about the fish, though - Murthly has some of the most beautiful beat surroundings on the whole river, and is teeming with wildlife.

Murthly Sawmill

Our sawmill specialises in fencing, decking, woodchip, wooden and metal gates along with all the ironmongery and tools you need to install our products.

Powered by a PV panel installation, with cutting done by laser-guided technology, and all off-cuts going into the biomass boiler at Murthly Castle, the sawmill is a waste-free, environmentally-clean business. See our dedicated website at www.murthlysawmill.co.uk.

Weddings, Filming and other Events at Murthly Castle

We're taking bookings for weddings in 2027 and 2028, as well as TV production and corporate events from late 2026 onwards. We've had some fantastic weddings this year and are looking forward to the rest. We've also hosted some great days out for businesses and private groups.

Wildlife

Summer is giving way to autumn now, and we're starting to see a golden quality to the light and cooler mornings. There are plenty of red squirrels, hedgehogs, roe and fallow deer in evidence around the castle; the swallows are still here, though about to go; and other garden birds are picking up in volume now that chicks have fledged. We had two oyster catcher chicks in the walled garden this year, where the autumn flowers are now coming into their own.
