The Property
The five impressive reception rooms of Wedderburn Castle are beautifully-proportioned and offer an elegant backdrop for special occasions whilst retaining the charm and welcoming feel of a private home. Guests arrive into the Stair Hall and are greeted by the fabulous stone staircase sweeping gracefully up to the Minstrel's Gallery, an impressive 100 foot long vaulted space dotted with Persian rugs and antiques.
At the heart of the interconnecting reception rooms is the magnificent drawing room with vast log fire, sumptuous sofas and double height windows offering fabulous views over parkland to the hills beyond. Adjoining the drawing room is the impressive dining room with beautiful William IV furnishings, magnificent marble chimneypiece and long oak table seating up to 27.
