You will feel the magical atmosphere as you step into the Great Hall which can host up to 100 guests. Another option in the elegant main house is the Croquet Room which has magnificent views over the estate through its big, bright windows and exquisite views.

If you are planning a larger party, we have two more options the contemporary pavilion, a great large space that really lends itself to make your own. Lastly, if you love the idea of saying ‘I do’ outside in a gorgeous setting, we have our Courtyard which is magical.

One of the amenities with this Scottish Castle, is the availability of accommodation alongside the variety of activities we can offer on premise and in close proximity. Extend your wedding day to a 2 or 3 day vacation with us and really make the most of Dundas as well as Edinburgh. We have 17 stunning bedrooms as well as the quaint and tranquil Boathouse where you could spend your first night together. There are also many places to stay locally. The estate offers a range of fun activities such as off-road driving, clay pigeon shooting as well as a golf course and tennis.
