Dalhousie Hotel and Spa

Set within 11 acres of private parkland just outside Edinburgh, Dalhousie Castle has stood for over 800 years and is one of Scotland’s oldest inhabited castles. Once the seat of the Ramsay Clan, its walls have hosted royalty, celebrated poets and illustrious guests across eight centuries.

Following an extensive refurbishment, the castle enters a new chapter that pairs its history and character with contemporary comfort. Choose from 35 beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, ranging from Castle Classic and Deluxe rooms to Feature Rooms, Four Poster rooms and Suites within the castle, along with Classic, Deluxe, Junior Suite and Suite rooms in the adjacent Lodge.

Dining is a highlight. The atmospheric Dungeon Restaurant, set in the castle’s original vaults, offers an award-winning fine dining experience, while the Ramsay Restaurant serves relaxed all-day dining and a traditional Afternoon Tea completes the day.

The castle is a distinctive setting for weddings and celebrations, with exclusive-use available, and offers private dining and a choice of function rooms for meetings and events. Out on the estate, guests can enjoy experiences including falconry and archery, or simply walk the grounds and woodland valley.
Bonnyrigg is around 20 to 30 minutes from central Edinburgh, making Dalhousie an ideal countryside base for the city, its castle, festivals and surrounding Midlothian attractions.
