Prom · 180 guests · June 2026
Ghillie Dhu was a matched perfectly for our high school leavers event held last week, we found all the Ghillie Dhu staff were lovely to us and super helpful for all the questions we had. Even finding time to let us visit the venue during their busy schedule. Everything really was amazing, we selected the “Prom Package” and this provided us with everything we need and not to mention the ceilidh band we selected were so amazing! definitely fit for our school year. The food was so good too especially the Haggis Neeps and Tatties definitely my favourite. And a special thanks to Sophie, one of the events coordinators who helped us plan everything. The Ghillie Dhu team were amazing and couldn’t recommend the venue more!
