Art at Balcarres

Over the centuries, Balcarres has supported the arts. This has been achieved through charitable donations, lending artworks to galleries and institutions, and commissioning work from artists and craftsmen across disciplines including painters, sculptors, blacksmiths, and stonemasons.
