Drum Castle, Garden & Estate
Medieval history, Jacobean romance and Victorian opulence
Dating from the 13th century, the castle was owned by the Irvine family for over 650 years. A Scottish stronghold and hunting lodge, Drum is now a spectacular venue for weddings, private parties and corporate entertaining.
One of the recent innovations at Drum has been the creation of an exhibition space, designed to showcase contemporary art within a traditional setting.
The castle’s gardens and extensive grounds provide a stunning backdrop for photography, marquees and outdoor activities.
