Another
exclusive wedding venue for medium 
sized
wedding parties is Harburn House which was built in 1804 for Alexander
Young, the infamous Paraffin Young, after the original mansion house
had been blown up by Oliver Cromwell.
The stables of which still remain and are situated two hundred yards
to the north of Harburn, next to the walled garden which dates back
to 1830 along with the original Dovecote.
There is also a 14ft stone monument commemorating the last visit in
1832 of Charles the 10th of France, who was a family friend and very
frequent visitor Harburn.
In
1875 the entire estate was bought by Thomas Barr, the great - grandfather
of Humphrey
Spurway, who with his wife, Rozi, are the present owners and who have
totally renovated the House and Estate incorporating a very extensive
Christmas Tree plantation, a commercial shoot and a paradise of lakes
and water gardens for you to enjoy at your leisure.
Harburn
Estate has 16 bedrooms all with private bathrooms and direct dial telephone.
Each room is decorated in a style befitting the house and each with
its own individual charm. It has a further four rooms also with bath
available in the immediate locality whould they be required.
Whether
it be for six or six hundred Harburn'sreputation
for food and service is unique and is an experience not to be missed.
From barbecues by the lake to candlelit dinners in the dining room the
atmosphere and style of Harburn is one of total relaxation.
Harburn
prides itself in NOT being a hotel and this is something on guests particularly
appreciate. There are no dining room times to be adhere to and above
all, no-one else you have to share it with.
Maybe
something slightly different?....

"...I
highly recommend Yvonne's business, because without her we would
not have been able to get married in Scotland. She took care of
everything, even things I would not have thought of or would have
forgot to organize. Not only was she thorough and in constant
touch, but out of all the places I got information and prices
from, Yvonne was the most economical."
