Torrisdale Castle Esate is located on the east coast of the Kintyre peninsuala in Argyll, western Scotland.
It has been in the Macalister Hall family for 5 generations, since around 1870.
In the early eighties, the estate diversified into self-catering and the family have successfully been running the business since then.
Recent developments include a bio-mass boiler which heats the castle and neighbouring properties using wood felled on the estate, a hydro electric scheme which generates power from the estate burn and which is then sold on to the grid, and more recently a gin distillery, which is currently under development.
