Dunlossit Estate Webpage

(created by Fiona MacGregor)

Set in around 18,500 acres of farmland and woodland, Dunlossit Estate is located towards the North-East of the beautiful island of Islay. The estate was purchased by the Schroder family in 1937 and still remains an important part of their lives today. Dunlossit is one of the biggest private employers on Islay, employing around 30 people, and strives to be a major player in Islay's development of life on an island.

There are seven lochs on Dunlossit, each one has a thriving stock of native brown trout. Boats can be hired from the Estate Office for a tranquil day's fishing, or why not book a day on the Laggan River for some salmon fishing?

For those who like to keep their feet dry, a walk around ‘The Back Drive’, or to the Lily Loch will leave you feeling restful and at peace with the world. Ballygrant Boathouse is situated on the bank of Ballygrant Loch and imagine the scene… a quiet summer day fishing on Ballygrant Loch followed by cooking your catch over a glowing log fire, admiring the sunset over the loch……...

Dunlossit is steeped in flora and fauna, wildlife flourishes in the purple heather fields and around the peaceful lochs. Red Deer herds roam over the Dunlossit hills. Woodcock, snipe and pheasants abound the native woodland and wild geese can be seen in the winter months.
Dunlossit Estate is swathed in history, and is presently creating it’s own stories for the future with the creation of the new Islay Abattoir and the future plans for affordable housing on Islay.
