Blairquhan Castle is a Grade A listed building, situated in the heart of the Ayrshire countryside. This magnificent example of stunning Regency architecture is more than just a property or a venue; it is part of Scotland’s rich heritage. With well-established grounds and a beautiful walled garden, Blairquhan Castle is the perfect choice for those with a discerning eye.

The castle, as it stands today, was completed in 1824. However, the original tower-house was erected on the site back in 1346 and, remarkably, only four families lived on the estate from that date until 2012, when the current owners, Ganten Scotland, bought the property.
Blairquhan was also used as a replacement for Balmoral Castle in the 2006 Oscar-winning motion picture ‘The Queen’, starring Helen Mirren, as well as featuring in many other films and television programmes.
WEDDINGS
Situated in the beautiful Ayrshire countryside, this remarkable piece of Regency architecture is far more than just a wedding venue – it has history, it has character, but most of all, it has charm. You couldn’t wish for a more romantic setting for your wedding day.
Blairquhan Castle is able to offer seating capacity for up to 100 guests for either civil or religious ceremonies. If you prefer, there is a beautiful church in the nearby village of Straiton. Up to 60 guests can be seated in the dining room for the wedding breakfast, and up to 100 guests in the two drawing rooms. For larger parties, a marquee is available on the castle grounds.
