Dundas castle

About

Dundas is an exclusive use venue located on the west side of Edinburgh. Boasting a variety of spaces and extensive estate, the Castle is perfect for weddings, private celebrations, and corporate gatherings.

The dramatic 600 year ‘Auld Keep’ boasts medieval rooms with original stonework walls and vaulted ceilings as well as incredible roof top views of the Forth bridges. This part of the Castle lends itself to classic Scottish celebrations, atmospheric candlelit feasts and beautiful wedding ceremonies. 

The main Castle has a more timeless and modern design, with welcoming reception rooms and 17 bedrooms. Guests can dine in the elegant Croquet Room which is light and airy with views across the manicured gardens and grand open fire. 

For larger gatherings, the Pavilion is perfect for gala dinner followed by dancing the night away. This blank canvas can be dressed for any occasion, hosting up to 200 guests.

The Castle grounds are the best place to host large incentive days and Highland Games, with endless opportunities for activities and entertainment. Dundas’ dedicated co-ordinators work with some of the industry’s best suppliers to bring the wow factor to your event.
