A NEW BEGINNING

Scotland has an abundance of ruined and derelict castles and stately homes that are now just a whisper of their former glory. Marchmont was in danger of a similar fate, however the extensive award-winning restoration that the property has recently undergone is not just with the house in mind but with a purpose that underpins Marchmont’s role in the future.

We believe that Marchmont has yet to live its finest years and that it will become the venue par excellence to which artists and makers, enthusiasts and academics, purpose-driven businesses and art-minded media will gravitate as our vision takes shape.

THE ENTRANCE HALL DAVID NASH, THREE KNOBBERS (2015) OUR VISION

Our vision is to create an ecosystem of which we can all be part: a place to celebrate creativity, find inspiration and support entrepreneurship.

Marchmont is available for limited exclusive private hire and corporate retreats.
