Dirleton Castle is suitable for:
- ceremonies
- photography
Say ‘I do’ in one of Scotland’s oldest surviving strongholds, a romantic 13th-century fortress. Dirleton Castle served as a magnificent fortified residence to three successive noble families for more than 400 years. Cromwell’s 1650 siege left the fortress in picturesque ruins, and today Dirleton’s beautiful gardens vie with the castle for your attention. A stunning backdrop for wedding photography – either indoors or outside.
