Two complimentary passes can be provided to guests who wish to have a tour of the house. This is only available during the opening season.

The Clock Tower sits within the immediate grounds of Bowhill House which is open to the public, normally from the start of June until the end of August (daily from 10am to 5pm). It is also normally open through the Easter weekend. Guests looking for complete privacy during the day would therefore be advised to book outside the opening periods of the Estate.

Please note that the inner courtyard where The Clock Tower is located is a shared space with four other apartments. There is an outside courtyard with a tea room and outside seating which is open to the public during seasonal opening times (see above). Please refer to the parking arrangements with regard to access.

Fishing can be arranged on the River Ettrick, a tributary of the River Tweed, through the Bowhill House office. The valley offers a picturesque setting and rewarding fishing. The river is split into five beats which vary in topography and scenery and while a full ghillie service is unavailable, the knowledgable staff at Bowhill will be able to advise on which beat is most suitable.

Alternatively, for loch fishing, the Bowhill Lower Loch is stocked with locally sourced trout and there are two boats available for use by anglers. Please contact the Bowhill team for more information on 01750 20753.
