Stirling Castle was the spectacular venue for a celebrity filled St Andrews Day
Stirling
Castle was the spectacular
venue for a celebrity
filled St Andrews
Day Gala Dinner
hosted by Hells Kitchen
chef Gordon Ramsey
in aid of a worthy
charity, Scottish
Spina Bifida Association.
Over 200 guests had
the opportunity to
follow in the footsteps
of Scotland’s
Kings and Queens and
experience the Castle’s
breathtaking atmosphere.
They were welcomed
by pipers who led
them over the red
carpet and into the
dramatically lit castle
which was filled with
flaming torches and
braziers. The Chapel
Royal was the venue
for a champagne reception
followed by a sumptuous
4 course meal served
in the 16th century
Great Hall accompanied
by outstanding entertainment,
including the Red
Hot Chilli Pipers,
falconry and an after
dinner speech by comedian
Ronnie Corbett. After
the money can’t
buy auction which
raised in excess of
£130k, the finale
of the evening was
a dramatic Beat Retreat
outside in the heart
of the Castle. Mr
Ramsay said, ‘It
was great to host
my luxurious dinner
in the magnificent
Great Hall of Stirling
Castle, one of the
world’s most
unique and exclusive
venues.’
