Set in the majestic Scottish Highlands, Tulloch Castle Hotel is a 16th-century former tower house situated upon the hills of the historical town of Dingwall. The hotel boasts breathtaking views of Cromarty Firth and the Black Isle. A stay in this Scottish Highland castle is the perfect place for an unforgettable experience, whether you enjoy the local cuisine at Turrets Restaurant, sit back and relax in front of one of the grand log fires, or explore the beautiful surroundings.
The castle’s fortunes have changed many times over the course of its rich history. In the 12th century, it is believed that Norsemen may have built Tulloch Castle. However, the first recorded ownership of the castle can be traced to the Bayne family in the 16th century, before the castle was inherited by the Davidson family, for which Tulloch Castle is known as the legendary birthplace of Clan Davidson. Today, the castle retains many of its original features, including the ancient Dungeon, beautiful stained glass windows, an ornate staircase, the 250-year old panelled Great Hall, and a secret tunnel from the basement of the Castle across town to the ancient Dingwall Castle.
With its beautiful Highland location, Tulloch Castle is one of the most romantic venues for wedding ceremonies, celebrations, banquets and receptions.
Set in the golfing Highlands, there are three Championship Golf Courses a short drive away, plus a further 50 courses in the surrounding area. Tee times can be reserved on guests’ behalf.
The Tulloch Castle Hotel has excellent facilities for meetings and private events. The Hotel’s dedicated events planner will help ensure your business function runs smoothly and successfully, taking care of everything from the stationery and room set-up, to the catering and team-building activities.
The Turrets Restaurant at the Tulloch Castle Hotel serves only the best Highland produce, freshly prepared by our chefs into mouth-watering dishes. Guests can then head to the Green Lady Bar or the reception lounge (where there is often a roaring log fire) to round off the evening with a fine Scottish malt. It’s the perfect way to end the day.
