Fasque

Fasque is the family home of the Gladstones, a stately home but due to the battlements on the front its appearance is more like a castle than a manor house. Half a million pounds has been spent on the property in recent years including a new roof. The interior is still very much of its time including the original writing desk of Prime Minister; William Gladstone, which is now used for, couples signing their marriage schedule.

One of the most stunning aspects of the house is the double cantilever staircase up to the first floor where your guests are free to wander through the magnificent drawing room, library and bedrooms.

The house is located 34 miles from Aberdeen and 20 miles from Dundee near the tiny village of Fettercairn. The house can accommodate up to 100 guests for day and up to 150 in total for the evening. The ceremony can take place in the house or in the nearby village of Fettercairn.

A marquee can also be used in the grounds for larger numbers if required. The marquee is attached to the rear of the building, and there is therefore no detraction from the appearance of Fasque itself.

From 2004 Fasque will offer some accommodation within the main house.

Shooting can be arranged for the groom and his guests on the estate with a Champagne picnic while the bridal party are getting ready in the main house.
