Shieldhill Castle is located near Biggar, South Lanarkshire. A short journey away from both Glasgow and Edinburgh, nestled in the beautiful Scottish countryside.
We are exceptionally proud of the Castle’s history and heritage, which goes back to the 12th Century; Shieldhill Castle is known to have links with Mary Queen of Scots and William Wallace. With some remarkable transformations, our team has enhanced the natural beauty of the 12th Century Castle. Classical original features remain evident within the Castle, with new luxurious touches to complement the architecture creating a charming and romantic setting. Making Shieldhill Castle the perfect location for every occasion, or simply for a meal or snack. The team have been at pains to protect the Castle’s heritage, working with local craftsmen to restore and renovate the interior completely. Surrounded by immaculately kept grounds, it has been designed to ensure that despite the grandeur, everyone feels at home, a place to call theirs for a few days and to make very special memories.
Suitable for weddings, special birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, corporate events, charity fundraisers, product launches and bespoke team-building events, the Castle is taking bookings for 2023 and beyond. The Castle boasts an array of reception rooms, a large marquee, a romantic folly, acres of lawns and our very own private Chapel, which can be used in a number of ways throughout your day to create a unique and special day for all.
