Carlowrie Castle mixes contemporary modern luxury within a traditional setting. Built in 1852, the Castle is privately owned by Andrew Marshall. Today it’s one of Edinburgh’s most unique venues. Only 10 minutes from Edinburgh International Airport and 20 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh, it’s one of the most convenient castles to stay in Scotland. When guests arrive at the Castle, which is set within 32 acres of idyllic grounds, they feel miles away from anywhere. The best of all worlds – tradition and heritage on the outside, combined with contemporary modern sophistication on the inside.
