Equestrian: The Majesty Of Equestrian Life

Craigengillan's stables are the beating heart of the estate, with historic stone stableyards, miles of private tracks and riding for every level.

Ride out through the arch of the old stableyard and the whole estate is yours: parkland canters, woodland bridleways and long climbs to the moor with Loch Doon glittering below. Our team matches horse to rider, from first-timers to those chasing a proper hill hack.

The yard also offers lessons, pony experiences for younger visitors, and stabling for guests who want to bring their own horse on holiday. Few places in Scotland let you ride this far without crossing a public road.
