The estate was owned by the late Paul van Vlissingen and is known as “The Last Great Wilderness” of Scotland. The van Vlissingen family considers itself to be the guardian of that land and manages it accordingly. The Letterewe Estate is renowned as one of the few remaining undisturbed habitats for some of Europe’s rarest species of birds and animals. It stretches over some 17,500 hectares of majestic mountains and beautiful lochs, and is uninterrupted by any surfaced roads or modern developments. It is home to the golden eagle, the pine marten, otters, northern divers, and around 2,000 red deer and numerous wild goats.
