A dramatic and historic venue
hidden in the heart of East
Lothian countryside, only half
a lunch hour from Edinburgh.

Winton lands predate the Magna Carta; the Setons built the House before Leonardo da Vinci established his reputation. Their architect, the King's Master Mason, did not work on ordinary castles! His carved, twisted chimneys still herald the palace within. His ornate plaster ceilings are the most elaborate in Scotland.

Winton House is a Scottish Castle and a private house. It is far from cold and its grandeur is not aloof; you are welcomed warmly as a guest into a home (mine!).

Winton House can be exclusively yours for memorable parties & special celebrations, including dinners, lunches or barbeques. The House works well for conferences & meetings combined with activity days and team-building events in the grounds. For a truly Scottish wedding, Winton is a dream location!

The activities on offer range from clay pigeon shooting, falconry and golf, to the Winton Highland Games, whisky tasting, and wine and Champagne tasting. Up to 16 people can sleep in the House, and 26 more can stay in our two 4 and 5 star self-catering farmhouses (also ideal for groups and family parties).

Corporate Responsibility and sustainability are at the heart of the management of the 2,000 acre Estate. Our team has won World Travel Awards 3 years in succession for our client service and the venue. We employ local people and serve delicious, freshly prepared meals made with East Lothian produce.
