About this property

Scotland’s Oldest Inhabited Castle. Since the 13th century, Dalhousie Castle has been host to royalty, celebrated poets and wonderful guests.

Today, we continue the tradition of Scotland’s warm hospitality. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with open arms as we cater to your every need with impeccable service and attention to detail. Our highly experienced hoteliers are dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of extraordinary.

Dalhousie had a variety of owners in the late 20th century, and was even used as a private boarding school (Scotland’s answer to Hogwarts!) before being transformed into a luxurious hotel in 1972.

One thing is certain, through the vast and somewhat tumultuous history of Dalhousie Castle, it has now become a symbol and beacon of Scottish hospitality, welcoming guests with open arms.

+ The castle was beautiful and the surrounding gardens and falconry was fantastic. Our room was spacious and comfy and the shower was A+. We ate in the Ramsey restaurant and the food was of a big standard, special mention to Kim who was outstanding and went above and beyond in her service

+ Amazing stay in the castle. Had the tasting dinner down in the dungeon restaurant, which was so cool. Walking around the grounds was great, very pretty and quiet. We were set to do the falconry. The day we arrived, but it had to be canceled. Because one of the birds had been injured that morning. We went down to look at the falcons, and the birds and we ran into Barry, who was one of the falconers. We were talking with him. And he was so awesome, told us about his birds and the others and invited us back down the next morning. Before his first session, and let my son, who is blind, hold a couple of the birds, including the Eagle and an owl and Barry's own Falcon. It turned into such a wonderful experience! It made the whole stage, it's that much more five-star. So shout out and thanks a bunch to Barry!
