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.
