About this property

Luxury Estate by request only

Ormiston offers the rare opportunity to reside within a traditional Scottish castle estate — private, secure and quietly secluded, yet just eight miles from Edinburgh Airport.

Designed by the distinguished Scottish architect David Bryce, whose work shaped much of Scotland’s romantic architectural landscape, the castle reflects both grandeur and domestic warmth. Within its historic walls, up to ten guests may stay in master-suite comfort, with the option of a private chef and driver for those who wish to be fully hosted.

Evenings gather around open fires; the halls feel welcoming in every season. Days may be spent on world-class golf courses, exploring Edinburgh’s Old Town, or discovering Scotland’s celebrated whisky heritage. For those preferring to dine privately, excellent food suppliers and specialist grocers are located nearby.

Long associated with the architectural tradition that later inspired the romantic imagination of Hogwarts, the castle carries a subtle sense of story — dignified rather than theatrical.

Ormiston is not simply a retreat, but a residence within a living Scottish estate — defined by privacy, continuity and place.

This stay was an absolute stunning highlight of our three week trip to Scotland. There were eight of us and everybody had their own bedroom and bathroom. The castle is perfectly decorated with wonderful and unique pieces of art. We enjoyed the downstairs pub with a few whiskys, watching a couple of movies in the theater, and walking the grounds. If you want to relax and treat yourself and your guests, this is the place. Groceries and restaurants are close by. We Deliverood Krispy Kremes and coffees for breakfast and Mexican food for dinner. It's also only a 20-minute drive to the airport, which was great for an early morning departure.Vicky and Brodie were both very committed to providing us with everything we needed.Highly recommended.
