This is a great venue for a wedding, the staff are great and very friendly. The castle is lovely, never seen a great deal of the outside thanks to the typical Scottish weather.

Went for wedding and the castle is and views are stunning. Only downside was there was only 1 toilet downstair for guests to use which was a bit of a struggle for 70+ people. The marquee for the dancing was very good though and had better toilet facilities.
