Managing land over generations requires patience and perspective. Decisions made today often shape the landscape many decades into the future, particularly in forestry, where trees planted now may not be harvested for a century.
For that reason the estate is guided by a simple principle: to care for the land and buildings in ways that allow them to thrive long into the future. This approach influences everything from woodland management and farming practices to the restoration of historic buildings across the estate.
Kincardine Estate has long been closely connected with the local community around Kincardine O’Neil. The estate provides affordable housing, premises for small businesses and land used by community organisations including the village hall, sports facilities and local clubs.
