£10.5million Aberdeenshire estate has a new owner… But it’s not David Cameron

The Tillyponie estate  was on the market at offers over £10million

An Aberdeenshire estate, valued at £10.5million, has been sold to a mystery buyer.

The 12,000-acre Tillypronie Estate, situated near Tarland, includes the 11-bedroom Tillypronie House and offers game shooting, deer stalking and salmon and trout fishing.

Former Prime Minister, David Cameron, and his wife, Samantha, were reportedly interested in moving to the north-east estate, because Mrs Cameron has family connections to the owners, through her mother’s second marriage.

The property is currently owned by barrister Philip Astor, a member of the Anglo-American Astor family dynasty and a cousin of Viscount Astor – who is Samantha Cameron’s stepfather.

Selling agents Strutt and Parker confirmed the property had been sold and Robert McCulloch, a partner at the company, added: “I can say that a sale has been agreed and that David and Samantha Cameron are not buying it.”

Mr Cameron has links to the area – his father, Ian Donald Cameron, was born in Blairmore House, near Huntly.

The estate includes about 2,080 acres of forestry and woodland and, controversially, received almost £400,000 from the European Union to plant trees in 2016 after insisting a similar 2014 payment had been a “one-off”.
