THE GRAND HALL
The heart of the house, the Grand Hall, is Kirkhill's main reception room. An impressive room packed with period features such as high ceilings, cornicing and a stunning fireplace, the patio doors lead directly out to the garden. With picturesque views over the Pentland Hills, it is the perfect place for any event.
Extending directly into the opulent Dining Room, the Grand Hall can host up to 70 guests for a drinks reception and up to 300 guests including the garden. Then again, there are also some great books and games, so it also works as a decadent space to relax and let the day go by. If you are a music enthusiast you can try your skills on the beautiful piano which is just next to the big lounge.

BASEMENT
Basement offers another four luxury bedrooms arranged with taste and big windows for full enjoyment of our guests. All the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms.
GARDENS
The reason people fall in love with Kirkhill is the view over the valley under the ancient Scots Pine (reportedly planted at the time of the original construction by the Dundas’ of Arniston). A true country retreat within easy reach of Edinburgh, the Kirkhill Estate has over 3000 established trees. With the North Esk River running around half of the house’s boundary, you’re almost guaranteed to see your fair share of local wildlife. From deer to bats, trout, rabbits, water voles, woodpeckers and numerous song birds, it is the perfect setting for a country event near the city.
