Dalhousie Castle Hotel to Undergo £5 Million Renovation

Summary
Dalhousie Castle Hotel in Bonnyrigg, Scotland, an 800-year-old landmark and the country’s oldest inhabited castle, is set for a £5 million renovation under new ownership. The project, led by ISA Architects, will add three new bedrooms (bringing the total to 38), a new bar lounge in the Alexander Suite, a redesigned all-day dining area, a single cask whisky cellar, and a refreshed library. Operated by 7 Hospitality Management, the renovation is expected to be completed by the end of summer 2025, with newly appointed general manager Philip Egan overseeing the transformation.
