Facilities and Capacity
Glen Tanar is a vast estate that was originally formed in 1869. Surrounded by Caledonian pine forests and riverfront views, it features several cosy holiday cottages, an on-site chapel, and a stunning Victorian ballroom. Glen Tanar is home to various excellent event sites, allowing you to host every phase of your celebration at one venue. You can host a traditional wedding ceremony in the Chapel of St. Lesmo, situated just a short walk across the meadow from the main property. Or, exchange vows on the stunning banks of the Trout Loch. After your ceremony, you and your guests can move into the spectacular ballroom for an evening of dinner and dancing. The ballroom has vaulted ceilings adorned with over 700 antlers, original oak floors, a roaring open fire, and a beautiful grand piano. Manicured lawns surround the space for a cocktail hour or lawn games. This space can accommodate up to 160 guests.
