Empty and almost unoccupied since 1872, Dunimarle faced an uncertain future until 2010 when it had the good fortune to be secured by a purchaser with both the vision and means to conserve and restore it.

With the castle laying empty for nearly forty years substantial repairs and refurbishment was required however many of the original features still remain including heraldic panels, painted chinese wallpaper and cherub and animal corbels.

The gardens were laid out by Jasper Wallace, a Scottish horticultural society silver medal winner. Many of his 1840 plantings still remain today including the North Avenue lined with Sequoiadendron Giganteum and Araucaria araucana. A very early bowling green still remains in the Bastion garden, surrounded by herbaceous borders and specimen trees.
