The experienced and dedicated team at Dundas Castle can't wait to help you start your happily ever after in an authentic Scottish Castle..

Facilities and Capacity

Situated within its own private 500 acre Estate, yet only 20 minutes for Edinburgh City Centre and 15 minutes for the airport, access is easy.

Whether you would like a religious, humanist or civil ceremony, Dundas Castle offers a number of beautifully romantic locations where you can exchange your vows. The Great Hall within the medieval Auld Keep is the most popular location for ceremonies; the Hall with its vaulted ceiling and ancient stonework add to the atmosphere of romance.The elegant Croquet Room provides an altogether different ambience for a wedding ceremony; the impressive open fire, crystal chandelier and outlook across the sweeping lawns of the Estate make this room popular for a more intimate wedding.Outdoor wedding ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular, and with a choice of settings, there is no reason why you can’t say ‘I do’ in a beautifully serene garden location on the Dundas Estate, or in the charming Courtyard.

Once the formality of the ceremony is over and the celebrations commence, whether you want an intimate candlelit feast for close family and friends in the 15th century Stag Chamber, a more formal wedding breakfast in the elegant Croquet Room or a larger dining celebration with dancing into the night for up to 200 people in the Pavilion, Dundas provides options to suit.


The front of the Castle is the perfect backdrop for a grand finale, with a marching Scottish pipe band and fireworks lighting up the night sky.


Many couples take full advantage of Dundas Castle being a destination for their wedding; having 17 delightful bedrooms, a wedding is an ideal opportunity to bring friends and family together under one roof for an extended celebration for 2, 3 or more nights.
