About Dunrobin

Dunrobin takes its name from Dunrobin Castle near Golspie, Scotland, reflecting the Scottish heritage of early settlers. The community developed as a rural village on the Ottawa River, offering scenic views of the Carp Escarpment and waterfront access.

The area was historically on the boundary between West Carleton Township and March Township (which became part of Kanata). When Ottawa amalgamated in 2000, Dunrobin became part of the new city, joining the West Carleton-March Ward.

Today, Dunrobin is an expanding community with approximately 1,000 residents. Property values range from $900,000 to $1.5 million depending on lot size and waterfront access, making it one of Ottawa's more upscale rural communities. Residents enjoy outdoor amenities including local restaurants and cafes.
