Fenton Tower

Fenton Tower Fenton Tower is a five-star, exclusive-use private castle situated near Scotland's stunning East Lothian coastline.

Fenton Tower is a magnificent, fortified; 16th Century tower located 18 miles East of Edinburgh near the coastal town of North Berwick. The castle’s location was originally chosen in the 11th Century because it afforded panoramic views in all directions and has had many distinguished visitors, among them being King James VI of Scotland (son of Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley) who took refuge

there as he fled from the rebel army in Fife across the Firth of Forth. The Tower has now been meticulously restored, and opened in 2002 to provide 5-star accommodation for up to 12 guests. Set amongst rolling countryside and surrounded by many of the worlds’ most famous golf courses (Muirfield, Gullane & North Berwick) Fenton Tower is the perfect base for a magnificent golfing experience. The location of the Tower makes it ideal for all kinds of country, sporting and recreational activities. Arrangements for parties of up to eight guns for Grouse, Partridge and Pheasant shooting, as well as fly fishing on the rivers Tweed and Tyne can be arranged. With horse riding, archery, and 5-star local attractions (including The National Museum of Flight, home to Concorde, and the Scottish Seabird Centre) all within a stones-throw of the Castle, your visit to East Lothian will be one you will want to repeat.

Burns Night, celebrated properly. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For those contemplating a suitably Scottish gathering, Fenton Tower can host the occasion in full: dinner with the traditional Address to a Haggis, a piper, mini Highland games, a private whisky tasting and a programme of experiences tailored to your group. And, rather importantly, a very comfortable bed awaits at the end of the evening.

A small number of dates remain available. To enquire, contact [email protected].

We know it is only August, but there is something about East Lothian in winter that makes it difficult not to look ahead.

Frost across the fields, pale light over the coast, long walks beneath wide skies, and the warm glow of the Tower at the end of the day. Some seasons are worth dreaming of early.

East Lothian rewards those who look a little closer. From the gannets of Bass Rock to the birdlife of Aberlady Bay, there is plenty to discover along the coast.

Summer may be here, but autumn in East Lothian is already worth planning for.

Long countryside walks, golden colour across the landscape, and evenings that feel all the better for returning somewhere warm and characterful at the end of them.
