A Romantic Castle for Destination Weddings in Scotland
Romantic, 500 year old Winton Castle is the perfect venue for your dream destination wedding in Scotland.
The Castle is in the heart of tranquil East Lothian countryside with easy access to Edinburgh, Scotland’s historic capital (only 14 miles away), and just 40 minutes from Edinburgh International Airport. Trains from London to Edinburgh stop at local stations about 10 minutes away. So, Winton Castle is the perfect location for family and friends arriving from around the world!
The wedding team at Winton Castle have had the pleasure of welcoming couples and their guests from around the globe for their perfect Scottish Castle wedding. Some staying 1 night and some choosing to stay up to 6 nights to fully enjoy the Castle and surrounding areas.
We will be by your side across the miles on Zoom, taking you on a virtual tour and answering any queries large or small.
Our very experienced team will assist with all aspects of your wedding day, from recommending local suppliers and suggesting how the day could run, to being the host on your wedding day and waving you off on departure. We’ll be there to help you realise your hopes and dreams.
