Airlie Castle Arts



Airlie Castle and Arts

Airlie Castle Arts are delighted to support the Royal Scottish Academy artists in their creative process by offering a studio and living space in a unique natural environment.

Set in the Den of Airlie, an SSSI (Site of Specific Scientific Interest), in a converted stable building that forms part of the Airlie Estate. The studio overlooks the River Isla and is surrounded by the quiet of forest and diverse wildlife, offering a large multipurpose room filled with natural light, and an apartment above. This is the residency’s first year, and it plans in time to bring a variety of artists, musicians and visual arts practitioners into a place of heritage and natural beauty.
