The Barnton Development at West Cairnbeg, Laurencekirk.

Craigallan Homes are proud to release phase three of this high quality residential development in a unique countryside location, in an area of significant landscape value.

To make best use of this rare opportunity, we have created a thoughfully designed development, with an emphasis on high quality family living in a peaceful, friendly environment. The houses are to be built using traditional materials, whilst creating modern, light and attractive interiors.

Situation
The 'Barnton development' in the small hamlet of West Cairnbeg is situated in the fertile Howe of the Mearns, near the beautiful rural conservation villages of Fettercairn and Edzell. Royal Deeside is a short drive over the scenic Cairn O'Mount road to Banchory, Ballater and Braemar, with renowned castles at Balmoral, Crathes and the remarkable Dunnotar.

The Barnton development will create a small cluster of country homes, situated in an area of significant scenic value. West Cairnbeg has a south-facing aspect, and is sheltered by the Grampian hills behind.

Schools
The new development will be ideally situated for a choice of local primary schools, and for nearby Mearns Academy, a highly regarded Secondary School in Laurencekirk. A school bus service to primary and secondary schools operates daily.

Excellent private education is also available at nearby Lathallan School, for boys and girls at prep and senior level, at Johnshaven, only 15 minutes drive away.

Commuting
The development is ideally situated for east coast commuting; situated in peaceful countryside, but with easy access to the business centres of Aberdeen and Dundee, both of which have airports.

Access to the main A90 is just 5 minutes drive, with Aberdeen a 20 minute drive and Dundee 35 minutes. Montrose is a main east coast railway station and is a 15 minute drive away.

Sports
This part of Scotland is well known for the quality of its sporting pursuits. There are golf courses at Edzell, Montrose, Auchenblae, Brechin and Stonehaven. Salmon and sea trout fishing is available on the North Esk and South Esk. Opportunities for shooting and hill walking, and access to the hills, are literally 'on the doorstep'.
