Designed by the Scottish architect David Bryce, the Ballroom was completed in 1876. Truly Scottish in style and setting, the enchanting Ballroom gives a sense of scale, history and occasion for a wedding for up to 220 guests.
Created for the 7th Duke of Atholl’s private army, the Atholl Highlanders, and is still used today for their annual ball. The ballroom has excellent acoustics, a large stage, two open fires, a fine dance floor and a state-of-the-art lighting system; all the ingredients for the perfect party.
