Birkhill Castle

About us

Birkhill Castle is located in Cupar, Scotland. It is the family home of the Earl and Countess of Dundee and their family. Guests will very quickly feel at home in the friendly atmosphere. Located on the shores of the river Tay a short distance from St Andrews, the castle offers a wide range of facilities for corporate and private groups alike. The castle is also a most romantic venue for weddings. Set in glorious countryside, right on the coast in North East Fife, Birkhill was built in 1780. The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens and guests can wander through these and see a number of rare trees and plants. Birkhill is primarily a family home with 10 elegant rooms & offers a warm welcome to all that cross its front door. Dining at Birkhill, whether a formal 5 course dinner or an informal lunch, has always been a relaxed one. We can seat up 20 people round the dining table or for larger groups can provide up to four tables of 8/10. All our food is prepared using the best local organic ingredients. These include vegetables grown in our gardens, game from the estate and salmon from the river Tay. Birkhill is the perfect venue for a corporate get-away, team building event or conference as it is both secure and secluded and yet close to both Edinburgh and Dundee airports. Its dining room seats 20 guests. In addition, it is the ideal venue for a relaxed, romantic wedding. The traditional aspects of the castle provide an ideal backdrop for a more formal ceremony and reception other guests prefer the informality of the garden, marrying in the tranquility of the rose garden and celebrating in a marquee.
