SITUATION
Nethermains of Kinnaird lies on the Carse of Gowrie, a 1st class cereal growing area of open level land between the River Tay and the Sidlaw Hills, to the north. The farm lies about 11 miles east of Perth and 0.5 miles to the settlement of Kinnaird.
Traditionally, the Carse of Gowrie is noted for the wide range of crops that can be grown and the high yields which are obtained.

Nethermains of Kinnaird sits on some of the best of this land with its slightly raised elevation and is therefore ideal for growing a wide variety of crops with high yields.

This is a most attractive and colourful area of Perthshire. Perth itself, one of Scotland's most prominent country cities, known as the Fair City is considered by many as Scotland's first city. It has excellent communications with a mainline railway station and a network of trunk roads leading to the major cities in Scotland, lying all within approximately an hour's car drive. From Edinburgh airport, there are regular shuttle flights to London and departures to various European cities.

Dundee, Scotland's fourth largest city, lies about 14 miles to the east. It offers excellent city amenities including national retailers, theatre, concert hall, restaurants and the recently opened V&A Museum at the regenerated waterfront, together with Discovery Point Museum, the home of RSS Discovery. The city is home to two universities and one of the UKs top Medical Schools, together with the renowned teaching hospital, Ninewells Hospital. Dundee provides excellent transport links with a main line railway station, bus station and airport with regular links to Stansted and sits within the Ninewells catchment area for medical staff.
The area is well served by agricultural merchants and dealers with a successful local machinery ring which can provide additional resources as and when required. Grain and potatoes are shipped directly from Dundee and other east coast ports with livestock markets in both Stirling and Forfar.
Nethermains of Kinnaird is a highly productive mixed unit on the Carse of Gowrie, extending to about 73.64 acres (32.80 ha) and centred on a traditional farmhouse with a range of outbuildings. The land at Nethermains of Kinnaird is classified as Grade 2 by the James Hutton Institute and comprises arable, woodland and paddocks. Although the majority of the Carse of Gowrie is flat, most of the land on Nethermains of Kinnaird rises above the flat land and, as a result, is free draining. However, the water table is maintained by a system of pows draining to the River Tay. The property owns 6 shares for Nethermains of Kinnaird under the Pows of Horn, Myres and Charleston Commission.

NETHERMAINS OF KINNAIRD FARMHOUSE

FARM BUILDINGS
The farm buildings at Nethermains of Kinnaird comprise a traditional range of stone-built buildings under slated roofs. Whilst the steading is redundant to modern farm practice, the buildings do offer an excellent source of outbuilding storage. In addition, they are currently utilised partly as stables, tack rooms and a workshop. The traditional steading flows exceptionally well and is completely interconnected. It offers a fantastic opportunity for a diversification project, or indeed further
stabling.
In addition to the traditional buildings, there is a Dutch barn with lean to, situated to the west and north of the traditional steading. These buildings would either provide machinery storage or storage for straw and feed stocks.
