Fenton Tower

5-star historic castle wedding venue in East Lothian

Set on a hilltop within 20 acres of private land, Fenton Tower offers seclusion, countryside views across the Lammermuir Hills and the character of a historic Scottish castle. The tower has been carefully restored to combine original features with modern facilities, creating a comfortable, lived-in setting rather than a formal venue.

Well suited to smaller celebrations, Fenton Tower also accommodates larger weddings through purpose-built marquees on the lawns. Parts of the venue are partially powered by self-generated electricity, appealing to couples seeking a more eco-conscious approach.

Newlywed testimonial 

“When you start to plan a wedding, everything can feel overwhelming and you worry what the day will be like. However, as soon as we found Fenton Tower and started to plan our day with Alan, the preparations became fun and we felt confident that we had found the right place.

“Alan, Claire and the rest of the team gave our guests staying onsite a warm welcome when we arrived the night before the wedding, and on the day itself everything happened as if by magic. From Alan's calming presence before the ceremony to Claire putting my bouquet in water after the meal, we were touched by how well both we and our guests were looked after. All the thoughtful details made our day perfect. 

“Months later, our friends and family still say what a special wedding it was. We could not be happier that we chose Fenton Tower!” – Andrew & Isabel Nisbet, August 2025
