What a wonderful wedding.
We were all knocked out by your
beautiful house and its surroundings.

Winton House blends castle, palace and family home and is ideal for your Scottish wedding. Winton House is a hidden gem set in a tranquil East Lothian Estate only half an hour from Edinburgh.

Steeped in Scotland's history and filled with a wonderful collection of art and antique furniture, Winton is both a fifteenth century castle and a family home. It exudes a warm atmosphere developed over half a millennium.

Winton's magical, romantic ambience reflects its rich history. The original castle was built by the Setons in about 1480. In the sixteenth century, Henry VIII had Winton burnt in an effort to impress Mary Queen of Scots during the ‘rough wooing’.

When Winton was rebuilt, James VI’s master craftsmen from Edinburgh Castle were engaged to redesign and embellish the House in the Italian-inspired style of the Scottish Renaissance.

Today, you can still enjoy the elaborate, intricate ceilings with their royal coats of arms, the huge, welcoming fireplaces, and the remarkable, carved, twisted chimneys.

Winton is still the family home of Sir Francis and Lady Ogilvy, and its beautiful conservation comes with a very welcoming, relaxed ambience. We call it ‘intimacy on a grand scale’.
