I hosted our graduation party in the Scotsman and it was an amazing experience. The venue was beautifully decorated and the staff were friendly. They ensured what a memorable night.

There were a few mishaps with the catering but otherwise the staff were well organised.

Party · 100 guests · June 2025 · Combined Fettercairn & Jura

The rooms were gorgeous. Loved having the linked Fettercairn Suite and the more relaxed Garden Suite. Barstaff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had all the drinks we needed.

Event was meant to start at 1pm but guests were turned away telling them it was 1.30pm start.
