Luggala and Lough Tay are part of the larger privately-owned Padulli di Vighignolo Estate, which also includes Luggala Lodge. The estate dates from the 18th-century when it was developed by the La Touche family, and then by the Guinness family from 1937 to its sale in 2019. The estate was the location of several films (e.g. "Braveheart" in 1995), and television series (e.g. "Vikings" from 2013), as well as visits by notable artists and musicians (e.g. the Beatles and Michael Jackson). A degree of access is granted to the public.
