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.
So those extra tiles finally got laid back in the chapel floor. After much deliberation we decided to use them as a pretty tiled mat in front of what will be a stunning sink unit. The unit is being made from the other half of the pulpit I brought at auction. I think the tiles look great here! #culdeesrenovation #mintontiles #chapel #restoration
How exciting that I’m planning colour schemes for the Castle hallway and kitchen!!! Here’s some fabulous art that will adorn her walls very soon. Pet photography by @strathearnsnapper, Art from local artist @diedododa and some from my favourite artist and friend from london @robertowenbloomfield

Horton & Spiers Lodges are our two larger cabins. Both are used regularly as a romantic getaway for honeymooners. With a spa hot tub, fairy lit walkways and private gardens who can blame them!

Smokey keeps a watchful eye on joiner Steve as he transforms half of a pulpit into an alter table. Just a polish up required and it’s looking fabulous 🥰 #catsofinstagram #joinerydesign #joinery #culdeesrenovation #stevejobs
What a wedding team we make! #culdeesweddingsandevents
Terrible picture of me but just look at the cornice in this place! @eahmouldings you’ve got your work cut out recreating these! #castle #mouldings #plasterworkheaven #culdeesrenovation
Well here it is my finished Minton tile panel !! Reclaimed from the rubble and stored for the past two years I’ve waited a long time to get these back in their rightful place. I even had enough spare to start planning another small panel. My pulpit come table looks great in this space too. Joiner Steve gets to work on this next week along with other counter tops and cupboards. #culdeesrenovation #oak #mintontiles #chapel
Most of you know that Rob gets emotional and often sheds a tear when we hit milestones. Today I cried happy tears as @richwelsh arrived with our stained glass windows! I absolutely love love them! The colours are just amazing and compliments the floor tiles perfectly. Steve did a fabulous job on the frames too. What a huge step forward we’ve made this week already 🥰 #culdeesrenovation #culdeesmansionhouseandcastle #culdeesweddingsandevents #chapel #georgianarchitecture #stainedglassartistinpune
