    I hadn't realised they also owned 50% of Fort Kinnaird.

    Sorry, I can't see that figure on the website. Where did you see it?
    The section about Crown Estates Scotland says:

    "Our rural estates comprise 37,000 hectares, of which 5,000 is forest. They include nine Sites of Special Scientific Interest and we are aware of the need to protect sensitive and fragile environments. We work with tenants on these estates to support the development of their businesses which range from farms to sustainable tourism."

    Almost the same place as you, in the Crown Estate Scotland Report 2011:

    The rural estate in Scotland includes 37,000 hectares (91,400 acres) of agricultural land, 5,000 hectares (12,300 acres) of forestry, residential and commercial
    property and salmon fishing rights.
    Although your quote implies that the forestry, residential and commercial property is included within the 37,000 hectares rather than additional to it.
