Kellie castle

Located just a few miles from St Andrews, Kellie Castle is a delightful gabled 14th-century home. Set in gardens bursting with colour. This is a Scottish castle sprung from the pages of history.

Idyllic, atmospheric, Kellie Castle is a Scottish venue with a timeless appeal.

First mention of the Kellie lands goes as far back as 1150 in a history that, through the ancestry of the Siward and Oliphant families, embraces Macbeth, Edward I and Robert the Bruce.

In the centuries that followed, the castle’s successive owners each put their personal stamp on the property.

A tour through the castle is like a tour through time. Wandering from tower to tower, you feel the centuries slip away on a journey of discovery that spans the 14th to the 17th centuries. And it is in this latter era that we find the castle’s most handsome rooms, beautifully restored by the Lorimer family in the late 19th century.

Perhaps the most handsome of all is the Great Hall, a misleading name for what is actually an immensely impressive drawing room. Large and imposing, with elegant plasterwork and grand fireplaces, the Great Hall makes a splendid backdrop for important corporate events of spectacular weddings.

For Kellie Castle could almost have been made for weddings, its beautiful walled gardens making a particularly romantic spot for reception marquees and photographs. For the ceremony itself, Kellie Castle has its own tiny chapel in the north-west tower, dating from the beginning of the 16th century; a charming, intimate setting for your most important day.

Along with its picturesque charms, Kellie Castle has a fascinating history, which can be explored during private evening tours.
