About
Steeped in more than 800 years of history, Dalhousie Castle offers an unforgettable setting for weddings in the Scottish countryside, just outside Edinburgh. As Scotland’s oldest inhabited castle, Dalhousie combines centuries of history and character with beautiful interiors, individually designed bedrooms, award-winning dining and picturesque grounds overlooking the River South Esk.
From intimate celebrations to larger weddings and exclusive use of the castle, every wedding at Dalhousie is designed to feel personal. Couples can exchange vows in our historic Chapel before celebrating throughout the castle, with a choice of beautiful spaces including the Orangery and Ramsay ballroom.
What truly sets a Dalhousie wedding apart are the details that could only belong in a Scottish castle. Your rings can be delivered by one of our resident owls from the Falconry, a traditional piper can welcome you and your guests, and the castle's historic rooms and grounds provide an extraordinary backdrop for photographs throughout the day.
Our wedding packages have been carefully created to bring together the very best of Dalhousie, with options for intimate weddings, larger celebrations and exclusive-use stays. However, no two weddings need to look the same. Our dedicated wedding team works closely with each couple to understand their plans, priorities and personalities, helping to create a celebration that feels entirely their own.
For couples choosing exclusive use, Dalhousie becomes your castle for the duration of your stay, giving you and your guests the opportunity to settle in, dine together and enjoy the estate over more than just the wedding day.
Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony surrounded by your closest family and friends or a full castle celebration, Dalhousie offers something increasingly rare: a wedding venue with genuine history, unmistakable Scottish character and the freedom to make it your own.
We would be delighted to welcome you to Dalhousie Castle and help you begin planning an extraordinary celebration.

Reviews for Dalhousie Castle
Wonderful Venue
Dalhousie Castle is beautiful and authentic with stunning photo opportunities at every turn
Their chapel is perfectly private and utterly beautiful
The wedding team are friendly and helpful and went out of their way to create a bespoke package for us
And it was reasonably affordable too and definitely proved to be good value for money
The service we received from the moment we arrived was second to none , not just from the wedding team but the whole hotel staff too, everything was thought of and we were cared for so well we honestly felt like royalty for the day
We chose the turret room as our honeymoon suite and it was absolutely perfect soo romantic
Would thoroughly recommend getting married here , and can’t wait to return for our anniversary
5 star wedding, absolutely brilliant
Absolutely beautiful place for a wedding, it snowed for us and just made it that bit more magical! The meet and greet with the birds and the owl ring delivery was a huge hit too! The castle is the perfect place for a ceilidh, we had a smashing time. Couldn't recommend more!
One small thing was the communication before the wedding, sometimes it was incredibly difficult to get a response, but closer to the wedding the castle had a reorg and it was all super smooth sailing from there!
Incredible venue with incredible staff
