Our
Story
We're husband and wife team Claire and Alick. Between us we have years of experience managing large Scottish estates and 5 star properties, delivering exceptional hospitality. We're the proud owners of Muir Estate and are passionate about carrying on the proud heritage and giving people a unique experience in this special corner of Scotland.

Claire had a successful career for 15 years in Employment Law and HR in London but home was calling and the desire to escape the rat race! Changing careers Claire bought Woodcroft House where she carried out an extensive renovation so she could establish a 5 star guest house offering meals. Woodcroft House won 'Best Guest House in Scotland 2022' by the Good Hotel Guide.

Alick has a whole lifetime of experience in managing livestock, coming from a long line of Orkney farmers, working on many Scottish estates, and he previously managed Glenlyon Estate in highland Perthshire. Together they are a perfect match working hard to ensure their guests have a 5 star experience of Scottish hospitality and the estates park deer, and with a herd that's grown to 80 in 4 years, the deer are now well established.

In September 2024 Muir East received its licence as an approved venison dealer and with the estates bespoke built 'Fishers' larder and chill they have the ability to supply local businesses, and proudly provide Blair Drummond Smiddy and The Abbotsford. Frozen cuts are also offered to the pubic and to the guests that stay at the estate. The cherry on the top is to feature estate venison on the Muir Estate 'Chef & Shepherd Suppers' and 'Heat & Eat Suppers', a true 'field to fork' dining experience!
