Welcome to Glen Prosen
The perfect place to get away from it all
About The Glen
Steeped in history from Pictish settlements, to medieval and post-medieval rural communities, Glen Prosen is one of the lovely “Glens of Angus” reaching into the Grampian mountains towards Lochnagar. At the head of the glen the Mayar and Driesh hills tower to over 3000 ft.
It is a secluded, soft and quiet glen, because no roads run through to the north. The variety of wildlife is second to none.
The Glen is attractive all the year round. You will notice the clean air, the abundance of wildlife, red squirrel, deer, birds of moor, forest, wood, grass and water; the lichen covered trees. The quiet is broken only by the birds and sheep. We hope the climate too will pleasantly surprise you. Despite the height and latitude, the average rainfall is only 45 inches, much of the rain being spent first in the western coasts and hills.

Balnaboth Estate
Balnaboth Estate occupies the central part of Glenprosen extending to approximately 5,500 acres. The estate has passed through the Ogilvy family since 1470, and the oldest building on the site of Balnaboth House is a stone vault dating from well before 1600.
Many famous people have stayed here, including J.M.Barrie, author of Peter Pan who wrote on leaving “never have I had a happier holiday”.
