CORPORATE EVENTS & PRIVATE TOURS AT ARGYLL’S LODGING
Historic Scotland is pleased to announce it can now welcome business
clients to one of the country’s finest medieval town houses.
Argyll’s Lodging, located near the spectacular Stirling Castle, is
already well-known as a high-quality venue for evening corporate events
and activities.
From Easter there will be great opportunities to enjoy the fine
surroundings of the 17th century former residence of the rich and
powerful earls of Argyll.
Clients will now be able to hire the lodgings for small meetings,
seminars and lunch in the High Dining Room, where the earl’s entertained
their most important guests.
Private tours, followed by lunch, are available for incentive groups.
Catering will be by Nairn’s, assuring the same excellent standards as
they provide at castle banquets.
Jayne McDonald, sales and marketing assistant manager, said: “We are
absolutely delighted to be able to make Argyll’s Lodging available in
the daytime as well as the evenings.
“As one of the country’s most historic buildings, and offering superb
catering, we believe it will be a popular option for clients wanting a
top-quality venue within easy reach of the country’s major centres.”
The High Dining Room is highly impressive, decorated in the latest
fashions of the 1670s for Edinburgh artist David McBeath.
Historic Scotland has recently refitted the kitchens to
recall the days when they were used to prepared feasts for Scottish and
English nobles.
The rest of the house is also furnished and decorated in keeping with
the fashions of the period.
Guided tours are available to bring the lodging’s past to life with
tales of the remarkable people and great events it has witnessed.
The lodging is at the heart of Stirling’s picturesque old town.
A particular benefit is that the city is at the heart of the country’s
motorway network and has a major railway station. This makes it
convenient for Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen and it is less than an
hour’s drive from Edinburgh International Airport.
