Carlowrie Castle

Carlowrie Castle is a hidden gem on Edinburgh’s doorstep. Please note that the castle is an exclusive-use venue, and hire includes the whole castle and estate - we do not hire rooms individually. Set amidst an expansive 32-acre estate, Carlowrie Castle is a stunning luxury exclusive-use venue for special occasions, house parties, weddings and corporate events. Our family-owned castle has been the home of romance and adventure for many generations, from the modern-day love stories of our wedding couples to the adventures of the castle's most famous resident, Isobel Wylie Hutchison, the 20th-century explorer, who lived at Carlowrie all her life.

There are 21 luxury bedrooms within the castle, gate lodge and newly converted stables. Each room features handcrafted beds and cabinetry, and original artwork by contemporary artists. Our ensuite bathrooms have underfloor heating, gorgeous roll-top baths and spacious walk-in showers.

Only eight miles, or a 20-minute drive, from the centre of Scotland’s capital city Edinburgh and 10 minutes from Edinburgh International Airport, this 19th Century baronial mansion house has undergone lavish restoration under the careful watch of owner Andrew Marshall.

Carlowrie is a remarkable retreat that blends rich heritage with modern elegance and luxurious comfort. A haven where guests have the space and tranquillity to relax and escape. Voted one of the top three venues in Europe at The International Hotel Awards and one of the 8 Best Wedding Venues Around The World by Grazia Magazine.

Whether you're with us for a wedding, a business event or a gala dinner, there's something about Carlowrie that brings an extra sprinkle of magic to the occasion. When you book an event with us, the castle and gardens are exclusively yours for the day, and we have 55 members of staff who are here to make your time at Carlowrie a truly stand-out experience.
