Set deep in the heart of some of Scotland's loveliest countryside,
yet only 8 miles from Edinburgh, Dundas Castle can offer
all the peace and quiet you need, to focus on the business
of the day. Whatever your event or meeting, the castle has
the perfect room for your requirements, with all the facilities
you need to ensure everything runs smoothly. You can choose
from the rooms in the Main House, the Auld Keep, or you
might require one of the castle's marquees for larger events.
The main castle building has a selection
of rooms available, unsurpassed for comfort, luxury and
privacy - in other words, everything you would expect from
one of Scotland's premier venues.
All of the rooms in the main castle building
can be used either as syndicate or break-out rooms. The
Dining Room and Drawing Room can accommodate up to 60 guests
and the Library is ideal for smaller groups, of between
10 and 20 guests.

| The
Beehive

quiet corner of the castle, the Beehive is also
the ideal place for a distraction-free meeting.
It is very popular for small conferences, board
meetings, seminars and training courses.

Library
The Library is also a favourite for receptions,
with its country house atmosphere and views

of this deep rich-red room, make it the ideal
place for a warming brandy by the fire, on a
cold winter evening.

Hall, but has the added attraction of a wonderful
log fire. |

lighting effects are charged for separately.
