Ferniehirst Castle New Year 2026

Welcome the New Year in extraordinary style at Ferniehirst Castle, a magnificent historic property nestled in the Scottish Borders.

Affectionately known as 'Scotland's frontier fortress', Ferniehirst Castle is one of Scotland's finest-preserved 16th-century mansions, rich in history and brimming with character.

Grand, yet wonderfully homely, it combines centuries of heritage with the warmth and comfort of an exclusive country retreat.

What it Includes...

Enjoy exclusive use of the castle and grounds, with nine beautiful bedrooms accommodating up to eighteen guests.

With the freedom and privacy of your own historic residence, you can celebrate at your own pace and create cherished memories with those who matter most.

Imagine cosy evenings beside roaring log fires, leisurely festive feasts prepared in the castle kitchen, and raising a glass to the year ahead in the magnificent Grand Hall.

At Ferniehirst Castle, New Year becomes an occasion to remember.

Venture beyond the castle and discover the charm of the surrounding countryside. Just two miles away, the historic town of Jedburgh is home to the striking red sandstone ruins of Jedburgh Abbey, offering a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's past.

For a change of scene, visit the nearby town of Hawick, renowned for its rich textile heritage and important place in Scotland's world-famous tweed industry.
