About Dundas

YOUR HOME FROM HOME

Dundas Castle in Edinburgh is the most spectacular venue for your event. Whether it is a wedding, a corporate event or a family celebration, the variety of buildings, impressive rooms and 17 bedrooms all ‘under one roof’ will provide you with a stay that is truly unique.

Currently, the home of Sir Jack and Lady Stewart-Clark, this authentic Scottish Castle has been transformed into a 5-star ‘Exclusive Use’ venue. Therefore, you can be assured that there will be no other guests or members of the public sharing Dundas with you. The Castle is yours to enjoy for the duration of your special event.

The Castle is made up of 3 main buildings. The Auld Keep was built in 1416 for the purpose of being both a home in times of peace and a fortress in times of war. In 1818 the main house as we know it today was built by the renowned architect William Burn and has belonged to the Stewart-Clark family since the late 1800s. The classic Pavilion on the lawns completes this magnificent trio of buildings to offer an elegant space for further entertaining.

With our dedicated coordinators on hand to meet all your needs, you can be assured that you and your guests will have a memorable and wonderful experience.

GUEST BOOK

The venue certainly combines the old and the new with the beautiful castle and grounds, and the flexibility the pavilion gives to staging larger events, backed by a truly professional team, excellent catering and event management.
Lesley Sanderson, Diageo Ideas Project Manager
The planning had been impeccable, every detail thoughtfully considered, all thanks to our incredible wedding planner, Aileen. She transformed our dream into a reality with her expertise, organisation skills, and just genuinely being the person we could always rely on. It was a day made perfect by everyone involved. As we looked around at the smiles and tears of happiness around us, we knew that this was just the start of our incredible journey to follow.
Abbie and Dan, August 2023
An enormous thank you to you and your team for all your hard work in making yesterday run seamlessly. What a superb service you gave us. You have been so accommodating of all our requests throughout the organisation and on the day itself. It made the whole thing a much easier task for us knowing there was such a professional and capable team dealing with us. Thank you so very much.
Kate Fox, Baillie Gifford & Co
We cannot thank you all enough for making our weekend at the Castle so wonderful. ALL our friends have commented on the amazingly helpful, charming team who were looking after us. The catering was faultless and simply delicious. You made me feel like a Princess. Ridiculous I had to wait till I was 50 to be so spoilt! Shame I'm so happily married as it would be lovely to have a wedding at Dundas. I shall speak to Graham and ask if he's willing to re-marry me so we can book Dundas again... In the meantime, thank you all very much indeed for a hugely memorable weekend and looking after us so exceptionally. It was an enormous treat

With the help of the entire Dundas Castle team, we truly had the fairytale wedding of our dreams. The exquisite venue was the most magnificent backdrop for our weekend, full of love and laughter. We wholeheartedly recommend Dundas Castle for celebrating any of life’s important moments. We will treasure the memories we made at Dundas Castle for the rest of our lives.
Isabelle and Lawrence, September 2023
The difference with Dundas Castle is not only the venue but the staff; they are professional, attentive and discreet. They are always there to help you but also just enough in the background to not impose on you or your event. In summary, the test of a great event is not only the venue but the staff and the big question "would you use us again"? With Dundas Castle, there would most definitely be a resounding YES!
