Ceremonies & Photography<br />

Once known as The House of Ruthven,<br />

<strong>Huntingtower</strong> <strong>Castle</strong> was a lordly residence<br />

for over 300 years and was associated with two<br />

noble families – the Ruthvens and the Murrays.<br />

Comprising two fine and complete tower houses,<br />

built just three metres apart in the 15th and 16th<br />

centuries and joined in later years, the castle’s<br />

eastern tower has a striking hall with a splendid<br />

painted ceiling and walls.<br />

<strong>Huntingtower</strong> has in its time hosted some famous<br />

visitors, and been linked with dramatic events, but<br />

it is perhaps best remembered romantically as the<br />

honeymoon destination of Mary Queen of Scots<br />

and Lord Darnley.<br />

Facilities<br />

60 chairs, a red carpet, two tables with tablecloths,<br />

a table top lectern, a battery powered CD/USB/SD<br />

audio player, LED candles and two cast iron flower<br />

stands are available.<br />

Additional Information<br />

Candles are not permitted at <strong>Huntingtower</strong><br />

<strong>Castle</strong>. The castle has no heating due to the<br />

is limited parking at the castle.<br />
