The Renovation
Check out the renovation of Culdees Castle and see our latest work
The castle was designed for Charles Drummond by Scottish architect James Gillespie Graham in 1810 and has had four custodians.
Glamping Site
Our Luxury cabins are inspiring, homely and authentic. We pride ourselves on respecting the nature around us and have designed our unique site to nestle quietly into its surroundings. A truly unique space with complete privacy.
Several days later in-between his day job Rob has finally finished the last roof on the courtyard area. #culdeesrenovation
I went out to feed the chickens early this morning. The air was fresh, birds we’re singing, the snow reflected the light on the highlands and everything was calm and peaceful. So thankful that Rob maintains the woodlands regularly so the huge storm left little destruction in its path here. Thankful that our glamping guests embraced the power cut and storm with an added sense of adventure. Two days of cutting and sweeping and we are all tidy again. 💪💨 #stormarwen #culdeestestimonial #culdeesglamping
So thrilled to be featured in this months #tietheknotscotland magazine as one of their favourite new wedding venues. #culdeesweddingsandevents
It’s been an odd year and for most Rob and I feel like we already know the guests before they arrive as it’s been so long since they first booked and planned their holidays. Some guests have been cancelled and rebooked up to four times so it’s an absolute pleasure when we finally get to meet. Thanks for sticking with us everyone your support to our business is really appreciated. #culdeesrecomendations
Can’t tell you how much fun we’ve had tonight! Christmas wreath making class with #victoriabloomcrieff greenery, mulled wine, Christmas tunes and glitter. Lots of glitter! #culdeesmansionhouseandcastle #culdeesweddingsandevents
Roofing tiles have arrived at last to finish off the stable roof.
Poor Rob it’s getting cold out today #culdeesrenovation
Today we put up the tree in readiness for our first Christmas Wreath Making class in the Castle courtyard. It’s made us feel all very excited for the busy months ahead. #culdeesmansionhouseandcastle #culdeesweddingsandevents

Last night we also unveiled the start of our gratitude wall. Each person that has significantly contributed to our journey will be given a stone tribute on the wall in the castle courtyard. The wall is constructed from original handmade giant bricks found in the castle. The wall will form part of our whisky nook so it can be enjoyed whilst sitting comfortably with a tipple.
