Events
The Royal Scots Club is situated in one of Edinburgh’s finest Georgian Streets in the heart of the New Town, only a few minutes’ walk from Princes Street.
The Club is fast gaining a reputation as the conference and wedding venue of choice in the city centre, now for up to 180 delegates. With a variety of meeting and function rooms, we can provide bespoke or fully inclusive conference packages, along with excellent options for private dining and overnight accommodation.
Following an extensive redevelopment project, we are delighted to announce that our newest events suite will be launched in October of 2010. With a capacity of 160 guests for banqueting, and 200 for receptions, the unique space also boasts an atmospheric cavern bar. The suite will also provide flexible day meeting facilities, with fully integrated A/V and IT capabilities, including video-conferencing.
In addition to this, The Club's facilities will be greatly improved with a newly installed passenger lift to all floors, offering full disabled access to our bedrooms, meeting and events spaces.
We actively encourage prospective clients and guests to visit us, to discover the exceptional facilities and services we offer in this beautiful and historic building.
