Murthly Castle, on the Murthly Estate near Dunkeld in Highland Perthshire, is hired for weddings, corporate entertainment, conferences, filming and private events. The castle is a private home, so the hired area is yours alone. The space includes three dining, reception or conference rooms, the Chapel of St. Anthony the Eremite, a walled garden and the wider castle grounds. The estate is 20 minutes north of Perth and one hour from the Central Belt.
Seminars and company events
For corporate entertainment and conferences, the estate stresses the privacy of the landscaped setting and a relaxed feel. The castle's three dining, reception or conference rooms can host a day meeting or a dinner, and the grounds allow activities such as guided woodland walks, Highland Games, clay pigeon shooting and archery. Past corporate clients named on the site include car and vehicle brands, travel companies and professional bodies, and past business conferences included estate agents and tree and woodland societies.
You deal with a named contact from the first enquiry until after the event. The estate also has longstanding relationships with local suppliers and only recommends the ones it knows well.
Weddings and receptions
The estate takes only a small number of weddings each year, so that each gets full attention. Murthly Castle is a private home, and the wedding area is exclusive to the couple, including during set-up. Ceremonies can be held in the chapel, the castle, the walled garden or the Douglas fir wood. The estate has hosted Christian, humanist, hand-fasting and civil ceremonies. Receptions can take place in a marquee in the grounds or the walled garden. The estate is taking bookings for 2027 and 2028.
Rooms and capacities
The official pages name the spaces but give no capacities: three dining, reception or conference rooms in the castle, the chapel, the walled garden, the Douglas fir avenue and wood, and the grounds. Send your guest numbers to the team and ask for the brochure and the 2026 hire fees PDF.
Accommodation
The estate pages do not list bedrooms for guests. For places to stay the wedding page points to nearby Dunkeld, Birnam and the Meikleour Arms.
Catering
Hirers choose their caterer. The estate shares its experience of local caterers, marquee providers and florists, and the final choice is always the client's.
