A limited opportunity to celebrate in one of Scotland’s most storied and luxurious private venues.
There are few places in the world where time stands still, where every moment is steeped in history, wrapped in elegance, and entirely your own. Borthwick Castle is one such place.

For a limited time only, we are delighted to offer 25% off our exclusive hire rate for events taking place between January and April 2026. Whether you are planning a winter wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime birthday celebration, or a private retreat with those dearest to you, this is a rare opportunity to make Borthwick Castle your own.
The Quiet Season’s Quiet Magic
Winter at Borthwick Castle is a season of enchantment.
The low golden sun casting shadows on ancient stone. Fires crackling in the hearths of rooms once visited by Mary, Queen of Scots. Candles flickering across long feasting tables. Snow gently falling on the castle. There is a stillness and romance to this time of year that simply cannot be replicated.
Our castle comes alive in these quieter months, a place of warmth, wonder, and private grandeur, where each celebration is as distinct as the couple or group behind it.
