HISTORICAL NOTE Mugdrum House is believed to date from the early 18th Century, although possibly incorporating older work, and was reconstructed later in the 19th Century. The single storey eastern wing was added in 1926 and subsequently rebuilt following a fire circa 1988. Mugdrum House was formerly known as The Old House of Mugdrum. It was replaced in 1786 by a larger dwelling sited close to the current walled garden. At that time it became the Factor’s residence. Following the new house burning down, The Old House reverted to become The Mansion House again. Mugdrum Cross stands on a ridge within woodland to the north of the pond. The Cross was designated an Ancient Monument in 1962. The Mugdrum Cross stands about 3.5m tall and is free standing. It was probably carved after the 10th Century making it Class 3 Stone associated with the early ascendancy of Christianity in Scotland. It is believed the Cross has been moved from its original location and reset into the grounds of a later house to create a feature. Panels on the east face appear to depict hunting scenes with carvings of men on horseback hunting wild boar. The Cross is said to be associated with St Magridin, from which the name Mugdrum is derived. The Mugdrum lands were apparently a property of John of Covintre (Coventry) at one time but were then held by the Ormes. David Orme of Mugdrum is on record in 1592, when he was summoned for treason, having apparently been involved with Francis Stewart, Earl of Bothwell, and he was then forfeited. A Tower, Fortalice etc is mentioned in those documents, and in an Act in favour of Master John Moncrieff, Advocate, is mentioned the lands of Mugdrum with Tower, Fortalice, houses, buildings, orchards etc. The property went to the Arnotts and then to the Leslies around the 17th Century and then was sold to the Cheapes in 1678. Mugdrum was used by Lord George Murray, the Jacobite General, before the Rising of 1745, and the lands were later held by the Hays (Source: www.thecastlesofscotland.co.uk). SITUATION Mugdrum is situated on the County Boundary of Fife and Perthshire, a short distance to the west of Newburgh in Fife. The growth of Newburgh stemmed from the provision of goods and services for the Monks of Lindores Abbey, part of the Tironensian Religious Order founded in 1178. Lindores Abbey was founded by David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William the Lion, King of Scotland. In 1266 Newburgh was granted Burgh status by King Alexander III of Scotland, as a Burgh belonging to the Abbot of Lindores. In 1600 Newburgh was given to Patrick Leslie, son of the Earl of Rothes – a powerful Scottish family – and in 1631, Newburgh was made a Royal Burgh by King Charles I. (Source: Newburgh History Society). Neighbouring Newburgh is home to Lindores Distillery as well as Sailing and Football (Newburgh FC) Clubs and an impressive array of retail and general services including Primary School, Medical Centre, Library, Garage, Petrol Filling Station, Chemist and mini Supermarket as well as local independent retailers and an Art Gallery. Greater services are available in Perth, which is some 15 to 20 minutes’ drive away. Perth serves a large rural hinterland and has an impressive array of Retail, Professional, Banking and Leisure services as well as a Railway Station. The local area is well endowed with Private Schools including Strathallan and Kilgraston at nearby Bridge of Earn; Craigclowan Preparatory School in Perth, Glenalmond College by Methven as well as Dollar Academy and St Leonards in St Andrews. The Firth of Tay offers opportunity for a range of watersports including Sailing, Kayaking, Paddle Boarding and Wind Surfing. The River Tay is one of Scotland’s most famous salmon rivers and the Perthshire and Highland countryside is renowned for the outdoor recreational opportunities it affords. In addition to the Golf Courses around Perth there are also the famous Courses at Gleneagles Hotel as well as the Championship Links at St Andrews and Carnoustie. The nearby M90 connects with the A90 to Dundee; the A9 northwards to Inverness and south westwards towards Stirling. The M90 also heads southwards towards the Queensferry Crossing, Edinburgh and its International Airport. There is also a range of domestic flights from Dundee Airport including London City Airport. The majority of east and central Scotland can be reached within an hour with Greater Glasgow and Aberdeen about an hour and a half drive. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Mugdrum is a lowground residential estate which comprises one of the most mature, varied and impressive landscapes imaginable with a wonderful coastal position overlooking the Firth of Tay. The Estate’s origins can be traced back to the 16th Century and many of the trees are of great age. The woodland blends with a vast array of azaleas, rhododendrons and other shrubs; the extensive network of footpaths, the large pond and the generous lawns alongside the three grassland paddocks and the arable field to form an overall landward area and landscape of singular and rare beauty. Mugdrum House occupies a wonderful position at the head of the heavily wooded coastal slope, which leads down to the high and low water springs of the Firth of Tay. Mugdrum House extends to about 5,622ft2 and incorporates accommodation with an array of attractive period features complimented by extensive glazing providing excellent natural light and wonderful views, both over the gardens and the Firth of Tay and Mugdrum Island. The adjoining terraces to the north of the house offer some of the finest residential vistas enjoyable within Central Scotland. The accommodation compliments spacious reception rooms with a large dining kitchen, excellent domestic offices providing a wealth of storage and five bedrooms complimented by four first floor bath/shower rooms and a dressing room. Garden Cottage is currently let and adjoins the Stables and Garage. It offers comfortable 2 bedroom plus study accommodation with gas fired central heating. Nearby Mugdrum Cottage also offers comfortable 2 bedroom accommodation with gas fired central heating and there is scope to extend the accommodation, as with the Garden Cottage, into the loft over (subject to planning consent). The Gate Lodge is in need of full modernisation. The woodlands throughout the Estate provide a large degree of privacy as well as many enjoyable walks with the opportunity to enjoy a great variety of birdlife in particular. The three grass paddocks, complimented by the arable field, will be sufficient for the majority of equestrian interests or offer the opportunity for hobby farming. The current Walled Garden to the south of Mugdrum Cottage and the former Walled Garden to the northwest of the Lodge offer further scope for the enthusiastic gardener. Mugdrum is a Residential Estate of particular note and comparable opportunities have historically been scarce in Scotland in recent years.

His wide and accurate acquaintance with animals and plants alike, of many groups the knowledge of which is in these days usually distributed among numerous specialists, and his readiness to place that knowledge at the service of all who sought his aid, early made him recognised as a leader in his favourite studies.
