Bowhill House & Country Estate

Bowhill House, the Scottish Borders home of the Duke of Buccleuch, is open to visitors at Easter, bank holidays, daily in July and on other selected dates. Groups can visit year round by appointment. Bowhill is also an educational resource for scholars of all ages, and there is a small 72 seat theatre converted from the old Victorian game larder, which programmes a range of shows throughout the year. The Estate is open from Easter to end September (please check our opening times for details). There are a range of activities and attractions within the Estate including gardens, an Adventure Playground, waymarked walking routes, a Tearoom selling home-made goodies, Soft Play and Gift Shop specialising in local products. Bowhill provides a wonderful day out for all the family and has special events on most weeks during the open season from Ranger activities to guided walks and Land Rover tours. Our admission policy admits the necessary companion or carer of a visitor with access requirements free of charge, while the normal admission fee applies to the visitor.
