Hire out a whole castle for your next team building event

Immerse your team in the grandeur and history of Borthwick Castle, a majestic fortress located just 30 minutes from Edinburgh's vibrant city centre and conveniently close to the airport, in the serene village of North Middleton. This isn't just another team building venue; it's an opportunity to transport your team to a world of historical luxury, making your next corporate event unforgettable.

At Borthwick Castle, we offer an exclusive castle rental experience that goes beyond the ordinary. Unlike other venues where you may only have access to a single room or area, here you have the privilege to hire out the entire castle for your team building event. This exclusive access ensures that your event is private, intimate, and tailored precisely to your organization's needs.

The castle features three magnificent meeting and event rooms, each brimming with character and history. These rooms can be used individually for smaller, more intimate gatherings or combined to accommodate up to 85 delegates for a grand corporate event. The flexibility of our spaces means we can create an event that's perfectly aligned with your vision and organizational requirements.

For those looking to extend their experience, Borthwick Castle offers overnight stays in one of our ten uniquely designed bedchambers. Each chamber is a blend of luxurious comfort and historical charm, with en-suite bathrooms ensuring your privacy and convenience. These rooms are not just places to sleep; they are sanctuaries that reflect the castle's rich history, each with its own story to tell.

Borthwick Castle is not only a venue; it's a piece of Scotland's rich heritage. Recognized as one of the finest and best-preserved 15th-century keeps in Scotland, the castle offers guests a unique glimpse into the past. Its walls have witnessed centuries of history, and by choosing to host your event here, you're becoming a part of that illustrious story.

Your team building event can be so much more than meetings and presentations. Borthwick Castle is surrounded by the stunning Scottish countryside, offering a plethora of sporting and leisure activities to enhance your stay. From golfing on nearby championship courses to clay pigeon shooting, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Additionally, we invite our guests to delve into the history of Borthwick Castle with one of our guided tours. Learn about the castle's fascinating past, from its construction in the 15th century to its role in Scotland's tumultuous history. These tours are not only educational but also a chance to bond with your team in a unique setting.

We understand that every organization is different, with its own culture, goals, and requirements. That's why our team is dedicated to working closely with you to ensure your event is customized to fit your specific needs. From catering options that range from traditional Scottish fare to international cuisine, to arranging activities that will energize and inspire your team, we're here to make your event seamless and impactful.
