Dunira (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Iar) is an estate of about 350 hectares (860 acres) in Perthshire, Scotland, 3 miles (5 kilometres) northwest of Comrie and 25 mi (40 km) northwest of Stirling. The estate is set against a backdrop of mountains, hills and rich lush lowland. Dunira was the home of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, although the house he built was replaced in the 19th century. The replacement house burned down in 1948, although the estate is still active.
