Creating change is both an incredible privilege and an important opportunity. In the fight against the climate crisis and biodiversity collapse, the actions we take today not only impact us right now but can also create hope for the future. …
Perthshire
An awe-inspiring 11,700 acre Estate, reimagined for nature, climate and the future.
Set at the head of Glen Lednock in Perthshire, Invergeldie is a vast and remote Highland estate—where rolling hills rise towards the great mountains of Scotland, and a hidden glen opens into one of the country’s most striking landscapes.
Long defined by traditional sporting management, the Estate has remained largely unchanged for decades. Intensive sheep grazing, deer pressure, muirburn, and predator control have shaped a landscape that is today largely treeless, ecologically simplified, and lacking the richness once characteristic of the Highlands.
Yet within this challenge lies extraordinary potential. Invergeldie is a landscape ready for transformation—where scale, ecology, and ambition combine to create one of the most significant nature restoration opportunities in the UK.

At its core, Invergeldie will become a model for the Highland estate of the future.
Our vision for Invergeldie is to deliver genuine landscape-scale restoration—rebuilding natural processes across the entire Estate and redefining what a modern Highland estate can be.
This is not about small interventions. It is about long-term, systemic change: restoring ecosystems, reintroducing lost species, and creating a landscape that delivers carbon storage, biodiversity recovery, renewable energy, and meaningful human connection with nature.
Woodland & Peatland Restoration
Across the Estate, degraded peatlands are being rewetted and restored, allowing them to recover as living systems that regulate water, support specialist species, and store significant amounts of carbon. By stabilising soils and re-establishing natural hydrology, these landscapes shift from carbon sources back to long-term carbon sinks—while improving water quality and reducing downstream flood risk.
Alongside this, large-scale native woodland creation is reconnecting fragmented habitats and reintroducing the structure and diversity once characteristic of this landscape. As woodland expands, it will create shelter, support biodiversity, and enhance ecological connectivity across the wider catchment.
Through the planting of over 1.4 million diverse native trees and the restoration of extensive peatland habitats, we are transforming a degraded landscape into a long-term carbon sink. These interventions will not only sequester and store significant volumes of carbon, but also restore ecological function, improve soil health, and create the conditions for biodiversity to recover at scale.
Renewable Energy
Alongside nature restoration, Invergeldie has the potential to contribute to the UK’s transition to clean energy. We are exploring the development of a carefully designed onshore wind project that works in harmony with the wider landscape strategy.
This approach reflects our belief that climate solutions must operate at multiple levels—restoring natural systems while also accelerating the shift towards low-carbon energy.

Property
Across the Estate, a collection of traditional buildings provides an opportunity to create a high-quality, low-impact ecotourism offering that allows visitors to experience a landscape in recovery.
Through the careful refurbishment and repurposing of these properties, we aim to deliver accommodation that is rooted in place, environmentally responsible, and aligned with the Estate’s wider vision. Alongside tourism, these buildings also support local housing and employment, ensuring that Invergeldie remains a lived-in and working landscape as it evolves.

Invergeldie represents one of the UK’s most ambitious landscape-scale restoration projects.
At Invergeldie, we are delivering one of the UK’s most ambitious landscape-scale restoration projects—transforming a historically degraded Highland estate into a resilient, nature-rich system that works for climate, biodiversity, and people.
Through the restoration of natural capital, we are rebuilding ecological processes across thousands of acres—expanding woodland, recovering peatlands, improving river systems, and creating the conditions for species to return. At the same time, we are establishing a model where environmental recovery is intrinsically linked to sustainable land use, renewable energy, and rural livelihoods.
The impact at Invergeldie is both immediate and long-term: from reducing grazing pressure and improving water quality today, to creating a landscape that will store carbon, support biodiversity, and generate lasting economic value for decades to come.
The figures to the right represent the long-term impact we aim to deliver through restoration—measured over the lifetime of the Estate.
