About Hopetoun House, exclusive wedding venue in Edinburgh 

Hopetoun House is located in Scotland, situated just 12 miles outside of Edinburgh city centre. It is one of the country’s most exquisite stately homes that was built in 1699 for the purpose of bringing friends and family together. The Hope family continue to reside on the estate and welcome you to their home for your special day, as they have used the gorgeous grounds for celebrations and hosting events for over 300 years. The family warmly invite you to utilise their stables and ballroom, which offer a stunning and unique environment for your 2021 wedding.
