MacLeod House at Trump International Scotland is a historic Scottish manor estate with 14th century foundations, designed in 1835 by architect John Smith and set within the championship links golf estate at Balmedie on the Aberdeenshire coast. The manor is steeped in old-world European luxury - secret stairways, traditional open log fires, an extensive Scotch whisky collection in the whisky snug, and opulent furnishings with fine linens and Italian marble ensuites throughout. Available for exclusive use or bed and breakfast, the estate provides the most authentic Scottish country house golf experience in the north-east of Scotland.

The Estate Grand Suite at MacLeod House offers the most expansive accommodation on the estate - Italian marble ensuites, fine linens, deep soaking bathtub, the period features of the 1835 manor, and views over the meadows and sand dunes of the Aberdeenshire countryside. The personal butler service anticipates every requirement and can arrange the full range of Scottish outdoor pursuits from the estate: salmon fishing, deer stalking, grouse shooting, sea kayaking, and day trips to Balmoral Castle.

The Trump International Golf Links Scotland championship course was designed by Dr Martin Hawtree and stretches over 7,400 yards through the Great Dunes of Scotland above the North Sea - woven through the most dramatic natural dune landscape in the country with panoramic views of the Aberdeenshire coastline from every hole. The 22-acre driving range, the world-class short game area, and the professional PGA coaching team are all available to estate guests.
