Designed in 1901 by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, with gardens by the globally celebrated landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll, the property 'has long served as a discreet retreat for royalty, golf enthusiasts, and worldly travellers alike'.
The firm said: 'Privately owned by the Weaver family since 1926, the property has now been entrusted to Marine and Lawn as its next steward.
'Through a relationship with The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, guests of Greywalls will receive access to Muirfield, one of the world's most exclusive and revered golf courses, a sixteen-time host of the Open Championship that is currently ranked number six globally by Golf Digest.'

Donald Trump to land in Scotland as details about his trip released
Donald Trump's visit to Scotland today, as part of a four-day trip, has been detailed. Everything known about Donald Trump 's visit to Scotland today for his four-day "private" trip before his official state visit in September has been detailed, from protests to meetings. The US President's arrival will be his first visit back to the UK since he won the 2024 Presidential Election. On his trip, he is set to meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and First Minister John Swinney, as well as making his way to his golf resorts at Turnberry in Ayrshire and Menie in Aberdeenshire. Here is everything we know about his trip: Why is Trump visiting Scotland? Trump's main reason for coming to Scotland is golf and to visit his two courses - Trump International at Menie, which he opened in 2012, and Trump Turnberry, which he purchased two years later. His last visit to the courses was in 2023, although he has been a frequent visitor over the years. Trump has often spoke about his love for Scotland due to his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, being from just outside Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. When is President Trump coming to Scotland? The president is expected to arrive tonight and travel back to the US on Tuesday July 29. Although his schedule has not been made public, he is expected to spend most of his time at Turnberry and Menie. His formal state visit will take place from September 17 to 19 and will be a more formal affair where he and First Lady Melania Trump will stay at Windsor Castle as the guests of the King and Queen. Who will be meeting with President Trump in Scotland? The US President will meet with the Prime Minister in Aberdeen on Monday, according to his White House press secretary, to "refine the great trade deal that was brokered between the United States and the United Kingdom". However, Downing Street is yet to confirm the meeting's details, including where it will take place. First Minister John Swinney said he decided to meet Trump on his visit to "promote the interests of Scotland" and to discuss things such as the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the imposition of tariffs on products such as Scotch whisky. He said: 'As First Minister it is my responsibility to advance our interests, raise global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza, and ensure Scotland's voice is heard at the highest levels of government across the world. 'That is exactly what I will do when I meet with President Trump during his time in Scotland.' The Scottish Secretary Ian Murray is expected to formally welcome the US President when he steps off Air Force One at Prestwick Airport tonight. What will security be like? The presidential motorcade is transported ahead of the visit by United States Air Force transport aircraft. This includes two identical limousines and more than 20 other security and communications vehicles. Trump will travel in Cadillac One - an armoured, high-powered enhanced limousine known as "The Beast" - alongside an enhanced police presence. Over 6,300 UK police officers were deployed at a cost to London's Metropolitan Police of £3.4m during his last state visit in June 2019. A previous four-day working visit in 2018 cost more than £14.2m. The Scottish Police Federation (SPF) has raised concerns about what the Trump visit will mean for its members against a backdrop of police complaints about spending on the force. The SPF also insisted that policing across the country will be "seriously affected" as response times could "double". Police Scotland confirmed it was preparing for a presidential visit earlier this month and the Scottish government said it had been working with the national force to put plans in place, with thousands of officers likely to be deployed as part of the security operation. Flight restrictions will be imposed over parts of Scotland as part of routine security precautions for the arrival. The initial restrictions cover Prestwick Airport, the area surrounding the Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, RAF Lossiemouth in the north-east and over the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire. Locals were left stunned on Tuesday afternoon as a fleet of Chinook helicopters flew over Torry Battery and Aberdeen Harbour. The helicopters - believed to be part of the advance security detail - later landed at Aberdeen Airport. Will there be protests? Thousands protested in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen during his last presidential visit in 2018 and he was booed during an afternoon round of golf by demonstrators along the perimeter at Turnberry. A paraglider also flew over the hotel with a banner criticising the president. Earlier this year, his Turnberry golf course was vandalised with pro-Palestine messages. More protests are expected this time around. Police Scotland have said they have the resources to deal with whatever the visit brings. The Stop Trump Coalition confirmed that it is organising events in Aberdeen in the city centre and outside the US consulate in Edinburgh on Saturday at midday. There is also planned activity around Turnberry and Menie, where Trump is expected to open a new 18-hole golf course. Scots farmer, Michael Forbes, has also warned Donald Trump he will never sell his land next door to the US president's luxury golf resort in Menie. "There's no way I'm ever going to sell," he told the media this week ahead of the Republican leader's latest visit to Aberdeenshire. "Everyone in Scotland hates him." First Minister John Swinney said people had a right to 'peaceful demonstration', adding that 'everyone has the democratic right to protect and express their views in a peaceful, and democratic manner'. 'That is right and proper,' he added. 'I am confident the vast majority of people protesting will do Scotland proud and demonstrate as they should – peacefully and lawfully. 'I am also confident that Scotland's police service can handle the challenge of keeping all our communities safe and, as they must, in maintaining the appropriate security any US President requires. 'This weekend is a landmark moment in our relationship with the United States, and I am certain it will be remembered for Scotland showing the world the very best of itself.'

Euan McColm: Is there any hope for future of Woolmanhill Hospital?
The ongoing dereliction of Woolmanhill Hospital is grim to witness. From the outside, the building maintains its majesty but – as online film clips have shown – its interiors are crumbling. Like a metaphor for the city of Aberdeen, itself, the Woolmanhill maintains a brave face during difficult times but, behind that facade, all is not well. When the NHS moved out of the building – home to the original Aberdeen Royal Infirmary – a decade ago, there were exciting plans for its redevelopment. The A-listed building – which has been in the hands of CAF Properties since the NHS moved out – was going to become a 102-bedroom luxury resort but those proposals were ditched in 2021. Since then, according to the city council, the building's owners have been looking for new ways of bringing the building back to life. Delay in finding new purpose for Woolmanhill site The future of the Woolmanhill Hospital site has had several false dawns. Image: Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson. Fighting the instinct to be unreasonable, I can understand the reasons behind the delay. First – and nobody living in Aberdeen needs to be reminded of this – the city has changed dramatically over the past decade. As recently as 2014, Aberdeen was to be considered the jewel in the Scottish crown. During the independence referendum, then SNP leader Alex Salmond promised that North Sea oil would create a strong foundation for economic good times. A Yes vote would mean a glorious future. Now, the oil and gas industry is treated as an embarrassment by the Scottish Government, as something to be run down and forgotten. The second perfectly acceptable explanation for the delay in developing the site is the disruption caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. Life may have returned to normality since the vaccination roll out four years ago but the financial hangover of months of lockdowns lingers. Development can't be 'wished into existence' Across Scotland's cities are examples of architecture so grand, so downright spectacular, that nobody (unless they were, say, a member of the Saudi royal family) could fund their construction today. To build something comparable – in terms of materials and sheer craftsmanship – to the Woolmanhill hospital, today, would be prohibitively expensive. This being so, it's doubly sad to see the place slowly fall apart. Windows are smashed and boarded up on the derelict property. Image: Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson. Of course, reality doesn't care about the desire to see the building brought to life. If there is no viable project, then one cannot simply be wished into existence. But nor should the building remain abandoned and unloved, left to decay. If developers cannot find a solution then the government should step in. There have been calls for the place to be turned into a medical museum which certainly makes a certain kind sense. Where better to display the marvels of medicine, to tell the stories of pioneers in the field, than a grand hospital building. But, realistically, would such a museum prove to be such a smash that it justified the spending of tens of millions in its development? I have my doubts. Perhaps the answer to the question of what to do with Woolmanhill is rather less glamorous and exciting than a swanky resort. Perhaps it – and other empty buildings – hold part of the solution to our ongoing housing crisis. Is there a creative partnership to be struck between public and private sectors to bring Woolmanhill back to life? Could housing be the answer for derelict Woolmanhill Hospital? With young people priced out of the housing market in the city and across Aberdeenshire, pressure on existing housing association stock is reaching intolerable levels. Could the city council, the Scottish Government, and the developers work together to redevelop the site, turning it into flats and townhouses, ensuring a proportion fall into the category of 'affordable' and are made available to first-time buyers? Given the drop in footfall across Scotland's cities, it's difficult to see how a place the size of Woolmanhill could easily be converted into a commercial venue. What would it contain? Shops and concessions that nobody will use? Pop-up restaurants that don't last a week and bring little to the local economy? People, however, will always need somewhere to live… Graffiti adorns the outside of Woolmanhill Hospital. Image: Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson. Last week, a spokeswoman for Aberdeen City Council said that talks with CAF, headed up by property tycoon Charlie Ferrari, were 'ongoing' However, both the local authority and Mr Ferrari remain tight-lipped as to what these talks actually involve. Time truly is of the essence, here. With each passing month, the unused building falls further into disrepair. The longer the delay in taking action, the less viable redevelopment of the building will become. There is no simple answer to the question of what to do with Woolmanhill but unless one is found, and quickly, the building will end up past saving.

You'll not have had your tea with ScotRail hospitality cancelled
I could practically hear John Laurie's lugubrious tones intoning the terrible news. 'There will be no hospitality on this train.' A sad trip north to Inverness this week for an old friend's funeral. The drive through the Cairngorms didn't appeal and so I thought I'd go mad and take the train. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Even I think it's a spectac-ularly scenic journey and I'm fairly underwhelmed by mountains. Seen one, seen 'em all, as far as I'm concerned. Also, they tend not to have a gift shop at the top. Inverness was weirdly hot, sticky and awash with torrential rain. After a beautiful service we possibly tarried too long. We said hurried goodbyes and raced to the station for the train home. It had been a long day. The possibility of even a rubbish cup of ScotRail tea was cheering. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Those hopes were dashed as we checked the departure board. Oh, the train was on time, so I guess that's something, but, right up there was a phrase of almost comically Scottish grimness. I could practically hear John Laurie's lugubrious tones intoning the terrible news. 'There will be no hospitality on this train.' I've seen this depressing little message before. In fact, it seems to be a ScotRail special. The last couple trains I've caught from Aberdeen have been tea-free and at least one from Dundee was a trolley desert. Don't get me wrong, I can manage without sustenance for short periods of time, and it's not like we're ever really out of food retail range. Pretty sure nowhere in Scotland is more than 2 miles from a Greggs. We're not crossing the remote Steppes or the Rocky Mountains. It's unlikely that the 17.26 to Waverley will be trapped by a blizzard and the passengers forced to draw lots to find out who they'll eat first. And we must be brutally honest. The ScotRail trolley offerings aren't that great. The coffee has distinct overtones of sump oil. The tea is usually drinkable, but then, tea is fairly bulletproof, until you add that ghastly fake milk from the fiddly wee container. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But even if the coffee makes me murderous and the biscuit selection is sparse, there is something about sitting on a train that makes you want to dunk a biscuit or nibble a shortbread finger. You may even wish to go mad and have a dram. Other railway companies seem to manage this hospitality thing on a regular basis. LNER practically forcefeeds you. They've got massive trolleys that could double as mini-tanks if the train ever gets invaded by zombies. Missed the trolley? There's a buffet car so you can do that swoop and stagger dance back to your seat with a swinging paper bag filled with a selection of hot and cold beverages, confectionery and sandwiches. They'll even bring the stuff to your seat. It's not cheap, but it is welcome if you had to dash to your train and didn't have time to do a smash and grab through the M&S food hall to source two gins-in-a-tin, something involving quinoa and a packet of Percy Pigs. The quinoa thing was a mistake, by the way. Won't do that again. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Presumably those pricey in-train purchases are welcome to whoever it is that's running LNER these days. Nice little earner, I would have thought. But no, welcome to the dreich presbyterian JohnKnoxRail. There is no hospitality on this train.
