As we move into the auspicious year of 2018, luxury Scottish wedding venue, Dundas Castle, has launched its lucky 18 wedding packages aimed at the Chinese market. With the modern part of the Castle built in 1818 and celebrating its 200th birthday in this special year, it is the ideal location for Chinese couples to seek double happiness in style.

To bring even more luck in 2018, the five star, exclusive use venue is offering couples who book their wedding for the 18th of each month throughout the year, a free piper to bring a real Scottish flavour to the experience.

Many couples dream of a wedding in a Scottish castle, and with its roaring log fires and 17 luxurious bedrooms, Dundas Castle lends itself perfectly to this ultimate romantic occasion. With the added Scottish features such as kilts for the boys, traditional dancing and locally-sourced food, a wedding at Dundas Castle is a true Scottish experience for overseas guests.

Sir Jack Stewart-Clark, owner of Dundas Castle, said: "We are always thrilled to welcome wedding guests from overseas. We like to ensure that couples get an authentic Scottish celebration, and for couples taking advantage of the Chinese lucky number 18, our fantastic piper will be on hand for free. Dundas is my castle home and even more appropriately for the Year of the Dog, my friendly four-legged members of the family are always on hand for a warm welcome."

Dundas Castle offers a flexible choice for weddings, with a multitude of options for holding a religious, humanist or civil ceremony. Couples looking for a traditional Scottish Castle wedding need look no further than the 15th century Auld Keep, while the elegant main house provides a spectacular home from home for a sophisticated yet comfortable feel.

Dundas Castle is perfectly situated just 15 minutes from Edinburgh airport and 25 minutes from the city centre. Nestled within 400 acres of secluded idyllic countryside, the Castle offers timeless charm and is the perfect place for a romantic wedding.

The lucky 18 offer is available throughout 2018 for couples who book their wedding for the 18th of the month.
