Abercairny is an estate in the Scottish region of Perth and Kinross. It had the distinction of a short visit by Queen Victoria on 12 September 1842, when she wished to see the mansion house, then under construction. The estate, owned by the Murray (or Morays) family since the 13th century, is 4 miles (6 kilometres) east of Crieff. [1] [2] It is included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland. [3]
