Picture yourself in the elegant surroundings of Shambellie House – a 19th-century country home in wooded grounds. The perfect setting for a hundred years of costume, from the 1850s to the 1950s.

Travel through ten decades of style and learn about the original family of the house. From dining room to drawing room, bedroom to nursery, each room captures a different memory and moment in time.

Our latest exhibition Hip Knits is a stylish showcase of contemporary knitwear putting the spotlight on the enduring popularity of luxury Scottish knitwear.

Round off your visit in our tea room with a refreshing tea or coffee, a light lunch or some delicious home baking.
