Charleton
With its magnificent panoramic views over the Firth of Forth, The Charleton Estate has been in the St.Clair family for over 300 years. It comprises of farming, woodland, an equestrian center, cottage lets and an 18-hole golf course. The current owner is Baron St.Clair Bonde.
Charleton House
Charleton House, surrounded to the north, west and east by mature woodland and overlooking the golf course to the south, was built by William Adam in the 1740s. Further extensions were made by William Burn in 1833 and Sir Robert Lorimer in 1905.
The house is protected as a category A listed building, and the grounds, including a Japanese garden, are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.
To the south, over the Firth of Forth, the focal points are North Berwick Law and the Bass Rock.
Farming
The farming, a mixture of organic and conventional farming, is predominantly arable, mainly wheat, barley, grazing and vegetables. It is run on a contract basis with neighbouring farmers involved.
Golf
The 18-hole golf course was built 26 years ago and opened by the former President of the United States, George Bush senior in 1994. Over recent years the improvements in the course have put it back on the map and has a reputation for being one of the most attractive golf courses in Fife.
