What to do at killean...
Spread over approx 4,000 acres on the western coastline of the Kintyre Peninsula, the estate encompasses over 1 mile of coastline and beaches and rises gradually to about 1,200 feet at its highest point, from where there are many vantage points enjoying panoramic views over the sea to the highlands and islands beyond. Indeed, on a clear day, Northern Ireland can be seen! The landscape offers a myriad of differing environments, from manicured tropical gardens, farmland pastures, tree-clad lower slopes, woodland policies, and the heather clad Killean Hill where there are rocky outcrops and lovely hill lochs. We also run a successful farming enterprise with sheep, Highland and Aberdeen Angus cattle grazing on the land as well as a game bird breeding program.
Whilst Killean is bordering the highlands of Scotland, we benefit from the Gulf Stream, a warm flow which stretches across the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean, bringing with it a temperate climate, so it is usually far warmer here then the rest of Scotland and allows fantastic opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors…
