We’re back!
The Burn is opening its doors for self-catered accommodation on the 3rd of July and for catered accommodation on the 18th of July and we’d love to see you.
Access to all accommodation will be controlled and meals will be staggered to comply will Covid 19 guidance.
So please be rest assured that all government guidelines will be adhered to ensure a wonderful and safe stay at The Burn.
We have self catered accommodation in our Courtyard House, which can hold 12 guests, and in the North Lodge, and the South Lodge, both of which can hold 4 guests.
We offer flexible catered accommodation in our beautiful mansion house split between 4 separate suites for up to 34 guests.
Come and celebrate your birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, and parties in a superb Scottish highland venue at the foot of Glenesk.
The house stands at the centre of a private estate and is the perfect base to explore the NE of Scotland. The Burn offers wonderful walks within its estate, including the famous Blue Door walk along the Gannochy Gorge and fishing on the river North Esk (see our Fishing page). The area offers varied walking and cycling in quiet glens, hills and forests. There also are many whisky distilleries, museums and golf courses to visit within easy reach of The Burn.
Outside we offer a tennis court, croquet lawn, putting green, bowls, football nets, walking in the garden and parkland, and fishing. In addition, for those in the Mansion House, there is a games room with full-sized snooker table, table tennis, a dartboard, a pool table, as well as other indoor games.

Cancellation of bookings means we expect to lose a vital part of our income this year, and we will face a large financial gap.
We therefore ask our friends to consider helping us through this difficult time. To donate use the ‘Give to The Burn’ tab below. You will be directed to the Goodenough donations page. Simply select “The Burn” from the dropdown menu, and please use Gift Aid if you can.
Thank you.
24th July 2019 was the 75th anniversary of the death of James Russell, whose tragic loss in action prompted his family to gift The Burn to Goodenough College. His life was celebrated at The Burn by the planting of 75 trees in his memory. Local, national, and international friends sponsored the planting of these trees. The Burn is keen to plant more trees and to place commemorative benches on the many walks within the beautiful grounds. For full details of how you can support us:

Challenging Times - Helping Each Other

Let’s hope that the post COVID 19 world is a kinder and more caring place where those in need have someone to turn to. The film below serves as a record of what Gordon did during Lockdown. THANK YOU.

Challenging Times - Uncertain Future
2020 is The Burn’s 70th year as an academic retreat and holiday centre. It was supposed to have been a time of celebration but then everything was stopped by the COVID 19 pandemic and The Burn was forced to close.
Lockdown is already taking its toll, and with no income being generated, The Burn faces a very challenging future. The demands of maintaining the estate and the historic infrastructure never cease.
In 2019 many of you answered our call and supported a very successful tree planting campaign. This year we are simply doing all we can to survive the pandemic lockdown so that we can open our doors again.
If you are able and would like to support The Burn in its hour of need then please visit our website at www.theburn.co.uk and follow the links to make a donation. Alternatively you could sponsor a tree or garden seat by visiting www.theburn.co.uk/support-us
Our heartfelt thanks go out to all our friends, followers and supporters at this difficult time and we hope to see many of you back at The Burn in due course. If you would like to know more about what we do then please call David on 01356 648281. Thank you.

As a family we have used “The Burn” on numerous occasions. A family wedding, a family get together, booked the estate cottages on the grounds on all occasions. “The Burn” has so much to offer and the staff can’t do enough to accommodate your requirements. Highly recommend.
Amazing world of the Burn behind the Blue Door #theburnscotland
