Savills has been appointed to sell the Leckie Estate, near Gargunnock, Stirling.

Leckie has been in the ownership of the Younger family since 1906 and was home to the late George Younger, 4th Viscount Younger of Leckie, a former Secretary of State for Scotland and Secretary of State for Defence.  The estate is being sold following the death of Diana, Viscountess Younger in November, 2015.

Evelyn Channing of Savills said, “I can sense that it is with a heavy heart that all four family members have decided that Leckie should be sold.  It is very much hoped that the new custodian of Leckie will treasure and enjoy the estate as much as the Youngers have done”.

Leckie Estate, located to west of Stirling, is easily accessible via the motorway network to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth and the Scottish Highlands.  It occupies an elevated position, sheltered by the Campsie Fells to the south, overlooking the Forth Valley to Ben Vorlich and Ben Lomond  to the north.  The estate extends to approx 1500 acres and, in addition to Leckie House, includes a farm, a small grouse moor, a number of cottages and some commercial woodland.

Evelyn Channing again, “Leckie is a beautifully compact and accessible estate, which is likely to attract much interest from home and abroad when it is launched on the market.”

The estate is likely to come to the market in late spring 2016. In the meantime, further enquiries relating to the sale should be addressed to Evelyn Channing in Savills Edinburgh Office.
