My husband and I decided to get married here after our parents went to visit on our behalf. We live abroad. I had viewed pics on their website but honestly found that it was much better to view in real life. I fell in love with this place as soon as I saw it. The grounds are lovely, vast and secluded with great views of the forth road bridge. Inside is where the magic happens. There is a very beautiful library for guest to relax as well as a billiards room which has a full size snooker table. Plenty to entertain guests while they wait. The bedrooms are stunning. They had the old feeling but without being shabby. The bathroom in the winter room was lovely. It has the original bath. the decor is just lovely.
We had our ceremony in the the auld keep. Pictures do not do this place justice. I just love it. Very medeival like with the winding staircase and stag chambers and gun rooms off the landings. Being scottish, Sir Jack & Lady Lydia had no objection to us flying to soltaire.
We had our wedding breakfast in the paviilion which was was a modern twist on the theme but was also stunning. Our guest were really spellbound by their experience at our wedding. If you get married here its not just a day for the bride and groom but also for the guests as this is a wonderful place for them to just see.
We spent the evening in the boathouse, in the morning we got our breakfast basket which was lovely. the door opens out on to the porch over the water and it was so quiet and idylic. we had a family of swans come over quacking for food. The certainly enjoyed our breakfast as much as we did. the whole expereince at dundas castle will remain in my memory not just for being my wedding day but for the venue too.
I have never written an article on here but felt so strongly about how wonderful this place is, I had to share it with others. I wish I could do it all again.
Also, not to forget the staff there, amazing, professional, courtesous, experts....need I say more.
