Situated in the heart of rural Kincardineshire, in the North-East of Scotland, the Glenbervie Estate is one of Scotland's finest. It is home to the renowned suckler herd of Glenbervie Pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle. The present owners, Alastair and Fiona Macphie, can trace their direct ancestors to over 700 years, with continuous succession of managing the Glenbervie estate. Superbly located on the Bervie River, the 2,000 acre Glenbervie Estate has rich, rolling farmland and mature woodland providing idyllic conditions for the rearing of pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle.

The pure-bred herd was founded in 1992, with the purchase of two outstanding quality bulls, known as Castle of Mey Quartz, bred by HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and Loyal of Hurdcott, bred by Lord and Lady Glendyne. This laid the foundations for the development of a top-class commercial breeding herd. The emphasis on high quality breeding stock has proved highly successful. The herd has been built to 200 pedigree cows and 6 pedigree bulls and it has become one of the largest herds in Scotland .

The estate comprises an ideal mix of amenities, including farmland, forestry, residential and conservation. We actively encourage a diverse selection of fauna and flora. We are farm assured on livestock and cereals and we are members of the Rural Stewardship scheme, which aims to improve the environment for wildlife in the countryside.

The continued development of the Glenbervie estate has been made possible by the success of its parent company - Macphie of Glenbervie Ltd, which is also located on the estate. Under the leadership of Chief Executive, Alastair Macphie, the third generation of his family to lead the company, Macphie has expanded its business to become the UK's leading family-owned food ingredients manufacturer.
