Dundas Castle Delights Event Planners
Rent a Castle in Scotland for a Unique Corporate Event Venue
Jan 27, 2009
Renting a castle, once thought to be out of reach for most, has quickly become a popular choice of corporate venue in Scotland. The main house at the famed Dundas Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland, was built in 1818 but the Auld Keep, part of the original home, was built in 1416. Internationally recognized Dundas Castle and its 1,000-acre estate provide a unique corporate venue for international event planners looking for something new and different in Scotland.
