The Burn

The Burn, is a magnificent mansion house (built in 1791) at Edzell near Brechin in Angus. It is open for most of the year for the use of members of staff and students from British, Commonwealth and American Universities. It is owned by the Governors of London House for Overseas Graduates. It is run by a resident Controller who is answerable to a management committee on which all the Scottish Universities are represented.

Individuals who wish to make private bookings should apply to the Controller, The Burn, Glenesk, Brechin, Angus DD9 7YP, telephone 01356 648281. Requests for bookings should be made as far as possible in advance, particularly for vacation periods. There is accommodation for a maximum of 32 persons in four single, eight double and four treble rooms.

Bookings for reading parties are to be made direct to the Controller. "Reading party" means a staff-student study group in which students predominate numerically. Charges are levied at a reduced rate on both staff and students in reading parties.


* 2010 Student Christmas Offer - from only £37.50 per person per night *

As term time ends we are offering a unique opportunity for students to enjoy an over night stay (or longer) with friends and families for only £37.50 per person per night (Sunday to Thursday) or £42.50 (Friday and Saturday) between Thursday 9th December and Tuesday 21st December.

The price includes Full English Breakfast and a Traditional Christmas Dinner, so what better way to mark the end of the term and celebrate Christmas than in a stunning mansion house set in 200 acres of beautiful countryside.

The Burn is a fifteen minute drive from Montrose Train Station and on average a return ticket from Dundee to Montrose is only £10.00 (if bought in advance) with a journey time of only 30 minutes, or travel straight up the A90 by car and you can be at The Burn within 45 minutes!
