The Craigie Hotel, Penicuik

The Craigie Hotel is an intimate hotel wedding venue located in Penicuik, Lothian & Borders. This stylish Edwardian property sits seven miles south of Edinburgh at the foot of the Pentland hills. It was once the home of a Professor of Natural History from Edinburgh University, famous for his pioneering genetic work with zebras, which once roamed free here. It has since been lovingly renovated to the highest standard, offering all of the modern conveniences you'd expect. Coupled with the tranquil, leafy surroundings of a classic country hotel, it sets the scene for an unforgettable celebration.

This spacious room can comfortably accommodate up to 80 guests in theatre-style seating while you exchange your vows. The suite is a blank canvas and can be dressed to suit your personal style. After your nuptials, you and your guests can retire to the leafy garden for celebratory drinks in the gin pod. Then, make your way to the main hall for your wedding breakfast. There are plenty of picture-perfect local beauty spots for memorable photos, but you can also make the most of the scenic grounds.
