A remote Scottish castle estate on the Isle of Mull has come to market with Savills Scotland for offers over £9 million / ~$12 million USD, bringing together an 18-bedroom Baronial castle, more than three miles of Atlantic coastline, three lochs, woodland, farmland, holiday properties, and an established working estate economy.
Located near Tobermory, on the northern tip of Mull in Argyll and Bute, Glengorm Estate extends to 3,702 acres / 1,498 hectares across one of Scotland’s most dramatic island landscapes. The estate looks out across the Atlantic towards Ardnamurchan and the Outer Hebrides, with a setting that feels both deeply private and distinctly Hebridean.

At the centre of the estate is Glengorm Castle, a B-listed Scottish Baronial castle built in the mid-19th century from locally quarried granite. With turrets, gables, crenellated rooflines, and a commanding position above the landscape, the castle has the cinematic presence expected of a historic Scottish castle, but its scale and surrounding infrastructure make this listing much more than a romantic island residence.
Inside, Glengorm Castle is arranged with three principal reception rooms and 18 bedrooms, including six with generous en-suite bathrooms. The interiors have been maintained for use as both a private family residence and a guest house, allowing the building to retain its historic character while remaining functional for modern occupation.
What makes Glengorm especially notable is the estate around it.
The sale includes a portfolio of 17 estate properties, including four holiday cottages, three castle apartments, and 13 long-term rental homes. The estate also operates the Glengorm Coffee Shop and Gallery, set within the former stables courtyard, which has become part of the property’s tourism offering.
Alongside this, Glengorm supports a working farm, a pedigree Highland cattle fold, a Scottish Blackface sheep flock, a local meat business, farm buildings, sporting opportunities, fishing, stalking, shooting, and estate mooring access.

It is rare to see a Scottish castle for sale at this scale with so much of the surrounding estate economy already in place. Many castles at this price point come with restoration demands, fragmented land, or limited commercial infrastructure. Glengorm, by contrast, is already functioning as a mixed-use island estate, combining private residential use with tourism, agriculture, long-term housing, and leisure.
The landscape is equally important to the story. Glengorm includes approximately 3,338 acres of pasture, rough grazing, and hill ground, 260 acres of woodland, three lochs, and over three miles of rugged coastline. One of the lochs, S’ Airde Beinn, is an ancient volcanic loch, adding another layer to the estate’s geological and natural significance.
The setting places Glengorm within one of the most recognisable parts of the Inner Hebrides. Tobermory, Mull’s principal town, is known for its colourful harbour, seafood restaurants, galleries, independent shops, marina, and historic distillery dating to 1798. Beyond the town, the island is known for beaches, wildlife, sailing, hill walking, sea eagles, otters, dolphins, whales, and views across the west coast of Scotland.

Despite the remote island setting, Glengorm is not cut off from access. Mull is reached by ferry from the mainland, with routes connecting Oban to Craignure, Lochaline to Fishnish, and Kilchoan to Tobermory. The estate also has a mooring at Laorin Bay, while helicopters can land on the lawn and small aircraft may use a nearby landing strip at Salen.
For an international buyer, the listing presents a rare combination: a historic Scottish island castle, a vast coastal landholding, an existing hospitality and agricultural business, and a landscape-scale estate in the Inner Hebrides.
Glengorm is not simply a castle for sale in Scotland. It is a complete Hebridean estate: part historic residence, part working farm, part tourism business, part coastal wilderness, and part island community infrastructure.
