ThingsToDoA House of Dun day
Make the house, courtyard and garden the main outing west of Montrose.
A guided Georgian house and a slower garden outing / NEAR MONTROSE
House of Dun, Garden and Estate
Reserve time for the guided house visit, then let the courtyard and garden provide a different pace. The formal rooms and household stories give the building character, while the Angus Folk Collection adds another view of local life. This is a separate outing west of Montrose, best enjoyed without racing back to a second major attraction.

Before you go

The practical details
- Where to find it
- House of Dun, Dun, Angus DD10 9LQ
Directions and arrival information - Tickets and booking
- House entry is by guided tour, with separate opening patterns for the estate and visitor facilities. Parking is charged for non-members. Follow brown signs from the A935 rather than a satnav route to an inaccessible rear gate.
- Access and getting around
- The courtyard, shop, café and a ground-floor house route have step-free access, but most house rooms require stairs. Gravel, slopes and woodland routes create further limits. The Trust’s detailed access guide explains each area; arrange the appropriate visit in advance.
Official access information - Visiting with children
- Use the courtyard displays and an outdoor break around a house tour that suits your children. Play areas and woodland paths have uneven surfaces, and a seasonal activity should be checked rather than assumed.
Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
