Duntreath Castle

About the venue

Welcome to Duntreath, ancestral home in unbroken succession of the Edmonstone family, who were granted the lands by King Robert III in 1435 as a wedding gift for his grand-daughter.

The original 15th century keep remains relatively untouched but the 19th century residential wing has been modernised and decorated to the highest standards. The warm welcoming atmosphere is particularly commented on by all visitors. The famous garden stands in 20 acres of lawns, with herbaceous borders, ornamental lates, waterfall and bog gardens set against the stunning backdrop of the Campsie Hills. The South-facing terrace looks down the valley to Ben Lomond, of which an even better view can be had from the Tower battlements. Classically described as "a magical place", Duntreath Castle, with its warm welcome and stunning gardens, provides the perfect setting for every event Sir Archibald and Lady Edmonstone (Archie & Julie to everyone!) are happy to hold a variety of occasions, either within the house or keep or in the gardens and extensive parklands. These include hosted lunches, teas and morning coffees where visitors are free to admire all the private rooms. Julie is also an amusing and informed lecturer on Scotland's Gardens, on which she is an expert. Outside functions include weddings, seminars, private parties and corporate events with added entertainment such as falconry displays, quad bikes etc.
