The Pavilion As the Scottish weather is unpredictable, Guthrie Castle boasts having its own purpose built Pavilion, designed for the weddings it has everything your guests would require to enjoy the events of your day. The large function room, which can seat 40 - 200 guests for the wedding breakfast, can be elegantly divided for your wedding numbers. Additional evening tables and chairs can be added for up to 300 guests at night leaving the dance floor untouched throughout ready for the evening dancing. This means all of your guests can stay at their tables throughout the whole clearing process and for the rest of the evening. Built in 2005 it has been decorated for any taste to suit any colour theme that you choose for your day. It is also complete with the band's stage, integrated ceiling speakers, wireless microphone and disco lights.

The Pavilion is also complete with its own state of the art kitchen, so our caterers can cook your meal on-site on the day. Golf Course Our course is available for our privately booked weddings and events only. Golf course architects always try to build 'signature holes' - we are fortunate that the natural landscape around the castle has provided us with a number of such outstanding holes. The 4th, 5th and 9th are stunning - both visually and from a golfing point of view. The Laird's Course was originally built in 1995 to celebrate the Laird's 50th birthday.
