Luxuriously romantic, Borthwick Castle is nestled within the beautiful landscape of Midlothian in the Lothian & Borders region of Scotland. This area of the Scottish hills and 600 years of dramatic history await you and your guests, providing a magical backdrop to your wedding.

Facilities and Capacity

Borthwick Castle will be exclusively yours on your special day. The surrounding grounds within the Castle walls set the ideal scene for your festivities as well as providing stunning views and numerous photo opportunities. The magnificent Great Hall, Garrison, and Stateroom are all licensed for religious, humanist and civil ceremonies and partnerships. The Castle can accommodate up to 80 guests for your wedding for the whole day.

Our friendly team will ensure all your guests are warmly greeted as they arrive at the Castle. They can enjoy the stunning surroundings, sip a glass of champagne and meet new friends and old ones before the ceremony begins. All our brides are given a room where they can make final preparations before their entrance into the ceremony room. Once the formalities are complete, everyone can relax and enjoy the very best of Scottish hospitality; dining, dancing and creating wonderful memories.

After a truly magnificent wedding, you and your guests who are spending the night at the Castle can relax and unwind with a wee dram in front of the fire before heading off to your sumptuous bedrooms, which have been prepared by our housekeeping team. The following morning you can have a leisurely start by enjoying a delicious full Scottish Breakfast in the Great Hall and reliving the highlights of your fantastic wedding day.
