Corporate Retreats

Time spent together beyond the meeting room often proves just as valuable as the discussions themselves.

Kincardine Castle offers a distinctive setting for corporate retreats, leadership gatherings and client entertainment.

Set within the landscape of Royal Deeside and overlooking the River Dee, the castle provides privacy, comfort and space to step away from the everyday and focus on meaningful conversation and collaboration.

For the duration of your stay, the castle and estate become entirely yours. The house can accommodate up to 22 guests overnight, making it ideal for leadership retreats, board meetings and smaller corporate gatherings where time together and shared experience matter most.

Within the castle, the historic rooms provide elegant spaces for meetings and discussion. The Dining Room seats up to 24, ideal for boardroom-style gatherings and private dining, while the Great Hall can host up to 56 seated guests or around 60 standing for presentations, receptions or evening events. The Servants’ Hall, now used as a boardroom, offers a bright and comfortable setting for smaller meetings and workshops.

Beyond the castle walls, the wider estate opens out across 3,000 acres of woodland, farmland and riverbank, offering space for outdoor activities, team experiences and informal conversation.

The scale and privacy of the estate also make it well suited to product launches, car launches and filming, with varied landscapes and historic surroundings providing a striking backdrop.

For organisations looking to engage with the environment more directly, opportunities such as tree planting and conservation activities can also be arranged as part of corporate social responsibility programmes.

For larger corporate events or company celebrations, marquee locations can be arranged within the estate landscape. The main marquee site can accommodate structures for up to 750 guests, while smaller marquee settings are available elsewhere through the throughout the gardens and park.

Just thirty-five minutes from Aberdeen Airport, yet surrounded by the quiet beauty of Royal Deeside and the nearby Cairngorm National Park, Kincardine offers both accessibility and complete privacy.

Dining is entrusted to the estate’s hand-picked team of private chefs, who create seasonal menus using the finest Scottish ingredients and ensure every detail of the gathering is thoughtfully prepared. From working lunches and private dinners to relaxed evenings beside the fire, the castle provides a memorable setting for bringing people together.

Across the estate and the wider landscapes of Royal Deeside, a range of activities can be arranged to complement your gathering and encourage connection within the team.

Groups may choose to take part in traditional country pursuits such as clay shooting, fishing or guided walks through the surrounding woodland and hills. For something more light-hearted, Highland games can be hosted on the estate, bringing colleagues together in friendly competition.

The estate also offers opportunities for organisations wishing to contribute to the landscape through tree planting and conservation projects, creating a meaningful way for teams to engage with the environment while leaving a lasting legacy on the land.

Whether enjoying an outdoor activity, a shared experience in the countryside or simply time together around the fire in the evening, these moments often become the most memorable part of a corporate stay at Kincardine Estate.
