Letham Grange is a mansion and estate situated north of Arbroath, in Angus, Scotland.[1] The mansion itself is category B listed.[2]
History
editThe mansion was constructed between 1827 and 1830. The architect was Archibald Simpson. During the late 20th century, the mansion was converted into a hotel and private houses were built on the estate.[3]
The estate had its own railway station, Letham Grange railway station, on the North British, Arbroath and Montrose Railway.
A golf club on the estate was opened in 1987, the official opening attended by Henry Cotton. The estate was acquired by Taiwanese man Peter Liu.[4][5] The hotel closed in 2002, and the golf club folded in November 2019.[6] The site has also been home to a curling club.
