Why couples love Dundas Castle
A true castle, not a conversion. A 600-year-old keep with real history and character.
Private and close to the city. Twenty minutes from Edinburgh, yet completely secluded on its own estate.
Made for weekends. A private home you take over entirely, perfect for a multi-day celebration.
A loch of its own. Water, woodland and grounds for unforgettable photography.
Ceremonies and receptions
Your celebration can move through the castle and its grounds:
Marry in the atmospheric Great Hall within the six-hundred-year-old Auld Keep.
Celebrate across the reception rooms of the main house.
Dine and dance in the adjoining Pavilion, a permanent marquee structure.
Or choose an outdoor ceremony in the grounds in warmer months.
