Nestled in an idyllic part of the Scottish Borders, Thirlestane Castle is a magnificent 16th century castle set in a meadow landscape. Family home to the Duke of Lauderdale, it is one of the oldest and finest castles in Scotland and still remains home to the Maitland family today.

Thirlestane Castle is available for weddings, corporate events, meetings, private dining and celebrations. Just 35 minutes south of Edinburgh it's easily accessible just off the A68.

The walls in this first floor room are lined with one of the largest collections of family portraits in Scotland including works by Romney, Reynolds, Lawrence and Lely. The individually lit paintings make the room a dramatic setting whatever time of the day.

    We stayed at one of the apartments in the castle and loved every minute of it. Staff is very attentive and the grounds are beautiful and full of wildlife. Behind the castle runs a small river and there is a walk alongside it which makes for a great morning stroll.
