The Menzies Room at Culcreuch Castle Hotel

The Menzies Room is the only bedroom on the first floor and is offered with twin beds and bath with shower over.

The view from the room looks over to the converted stable block, now Culcreuch Castle Hotel's Function Hall, with glimpses of the ancient Pinetum and views down the South Drive. 

The Menzies Family - In 1890 the last of the Spiers family sold Culcreuch to Mr. J. C. Dunwaters, whose family had farmed in the parish and who was one of the proprietors of the Outram Press (once famous as owners and publishers of the Glasgow Herald, now "Herald"daily newspaper).

In 1901 he sold the estate to Walter (later Sir Walter) Menzies. The particulars of the sale can be seen framed on the passageway wall on the ground floor in the Castle. The Menzies family owned Culcreuch until the Haslam Family purchased the Estate in 1984.

Sir Walter Menzies' son's widow, Ruth Menzies, lived in the Menzies Room for many years after her husband died in the mid 1930s - until her death in 1975.
