The Ramsays have been at Bamff since it was given by King Alexander II of Scotland to Paul's ancestor, the King's doctor, in 1232 for saving his life by an early surgical operation. Paul and I have lived at Bamff for thirty five years and brought up our four children here. Paul, an ecologist and naturalist is a great source of information on natural history, history, placenames, and a multitude of other subjects both locally and further afield. We are both keen environmentalists, campaigning on a range of issues. We run the estate together with the help of Sophie, our daughter. Like everyone at Bamff Paul and Louise always enjoy chatting to guests and answering any questions about the estate or the surrounding area. Paul will happily take you out to look for beavers if you would like.

There are seven different places to stay at Bamff Ecotourism, all well spaced out from each other on a private estate well known for its rewilding project and beavers. There are: 3 fully equipped cottages: The Lodge, Old Brewhouse & Easter Bamff each with 2 bedrooms but all different so check the details. 2 Yurts each with a double bed (N Yurt can be be singles) The Hideaway and the Burnieshead Cabin are entirely off-grid (like the yurts) and have very simple camping style cooking options. The Hideaway has an off grid shower and a composting loo and solar powered lighting, and the Burnieshead Cabin just has a loo and tea-lights - but access to a shower at the back of the castle. Both Yurts have access to kitchen, bathroom and lounge facilities inside the Castle as well as their own Barbecues. The Hideaway is not a good place for bonfires or barbecues as it is very close to the beavers and the woods. It's a especially good for people who like to watch wildlife. There is free parking for everyone who stays at Bamff. Some provisions are included and others are sold in a little honesty shop at the back of the castle. Dogs are allowed at all but the yurts and Burnieshed cabin.

For those that love wildlife, Bamff is hard to beat. The environmental conservation management on the estate over 30 years has led to maturing native woodland of birch and hazel, oak and pine, providing habitat for roe deer, red squirrels, stoats and weasles, foxes and badgers and literally dozens of species of bird. The beaver wetlands play host to otters, water voles, fish, dragon-flies and hundreds of frogs and toads. Wildlife photographers will have a feast staying here. Bamff is a great place to come for a romantic holiday for two, or a place to bring your children and set them free to build dens in the woods or play football on the large lawn, or take them to enjoy the many local activities. The wider area also offers a large range of possibilities, from golf to white water rafting, and from riding to visiting castles. There are a number of excellent restaurants in the area for food-lovers. Glamis, Scone Palace, Blair Castle and Balmoral are all within easy driving distance. Bamff is also a good spot for Glenshee skiers in the winter, and visitors taking part in the many activities available in this beautiful and central part of Scotland.
