Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, the site dates back to the 13th Century. Kilgraston House was originally designed by Francis Grant and later extended by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson. The site was purchased by the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1930 and opened as a school. It features several modern extensions that provide ample teaching space, dormitory rooms, and other school facilities.
The property's rich history, combined with its extensive facilities and scenic surroundings, make Kilgraston a unique and versatile development opportunity.
