Royal protection experience
Our approach draws on senior experience supporting Royal security in Scotland and serving at Royal residences — an understanding of the discretion, preparation and attention to detail that high-profile settings require.
Standards learned where discretion is everything.
Protecting high-profile people in historic, working environments demands more than vigilance. It calls for quiet professionalism, careful preparation and the ability to work seamlessly alongside household, estate and visiting teams.
Before founding Stagstone Protection, Scott Cox held senior Royal and heritage security roles in Scotland, including at Balmoral Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, with senior responsibility for Royal security in Scotland. Working closely with estate leadership, he contributed to protective planning and site operations.
Those same standards now shape how we support private clients, their families and their homes.
Experience that translates to private settings.
Discretion by default
Security that sits quietly in the background, protecting privacy and allowing normal life — and normal routines — to continue.
Meticulous preparation
Visits, events and movements planned in detail beforehand, so the day itself runs calmly and without surprises.
Working within an estate
Experience coordinating with estate leadership, household staff, contractors and visitors across large, historic sites.
Balancing access and protection
Practical arrangements for properties that welcome guests, staff and visitors while keeping people and assets secure.
Clear procedures
Risk assessments, standing orders and operating procedures written to be understood and followed by everyone involved.
Calm under pressure
Judgement shaped by 22 years of military service, eight operational tours and senior leadership responsibility.
The same care, for your home.
Whether you need advice on a single property, support for an estate or a fully coordinated residential security team, we bring the same attention to detail to every engagement.
- Confidential, unhurried initial conversation
- Practical assessment of people, property and routines
- Proportionate, clearly documented arrangements
