Stracathro is located on the north of the A90, Aberdeen to Dundee main road just to the south of the Angus county boundary and near Brechin.
This is a site in multiple occupancy, involving three owners. The house and its immediate setting are privately owned, as is the walled garden and its immediate surroundings. The park is in the ownership of the NHS. The agricultural land of the former estate is also in private ownership but does not form part of this record.
Access to the immediate setting of the house was not possible. However, aspects of it in view of the public road have been recorded, as have all the historical data in the public domain. Access to the walled garden and its immediate surroundings was granted and the NHS land is open to the public. Both of these components of the estate were visited and have been recorded in full.
Researched and visited by the Garden History Society in Scotland (Angus Landscape Survey Group) October, 2012.
