Culcreuch Castle, central Scotland's
oldest inhabited castle, is now open to discerning guests as
an elegant country house hotel.
Set in 1,600 acres of wooded parkland, this is as romantic a
meeting place as the bonnie banks themselves, and the perfect
base for touring the Trossachs and Highlands, where the legends
of Braveheart and Rob Roy took root.
It's a magical setting for weddings and corporate hospitality
as well. Yet it is less than 45 minutes from both Glasgow and
Edinburgh International Airports.
And oh yes, we also have a ghost who wanders in and around the
castle from time to time. We think she's a lady and we know she's
friendly though she only seems to appear to people who think
no castle would be complete without a resident ghost.
All the public rooms are decorated in period style and furnished
with antiques giving the aura and grace of a bygone age. Log
fires create warmth and intimacy and the candlelit evening meals
in the panelled Dining Room make for most romantic occasions,
well complemented by freshly prepared local produce and a carefully
selected wine cellar. |
