A quintessential Scottish Country House which was home to one of Scotland’s most distinguished noble families – the Spens of Lathallan - Craigsanquhar House near Cupar in the beautiful Kingdom of Fife, will never be found lacking when it comes to plentiful history or character. Dating from 1385, Craigsanquhar (meaning Sanctuary on a hill) is set in 36 acres of peaceful gardens and enjoys superb countryside views. Just 6 miles from St. Andrews - the mecca for golf lovers everywhere – its location is also convenient enough to allow day trips to Edinburgh or up to the Highlands of Scotland, with Highland Perthshire easily reached in just an hour. The East Neuk of Fife, with its charming fishing villages and gorgeous beaches is also easily accessible, enabling guests to enjoy the very best of Scotland from coast to City to hill and glen.

The picturesque House is noted for its impressive grey stonework and double bay windows at the front as well as its rich history. Parts of the original tower house, lived in by the early Spens family, remain along with archery butts to the north-east of the House, and a walled garden which dates from the 1790’s. The architect of the house as it stands today is William Burn, the architect of many distinguished buildings in Edinburgh.
