Corney & Barrow (Scotland) with Whighams of Ayr have had offices based at Oxenfoord Castle since 2001. Customers are very welcome to visit the Tasting & Showroom based in our offices in the castle (Monday - Friday 9am to 6pm).
Oxenfoord is situated approximately 4 miles from the Edinburgh City By-pass, near to the village of Pathhead. The castle is a superb venue for small corporate events, beautifully situated in the midst of glorious park and woodland, only 10 miles from the centre of Edinburgh.
History of the Castle
The original core of the castle is the old tower of the MacGills, and was inherited by Lady Dalrymple in 1779. The Earl of Stair engaged William Burn to update the house in 1840 with additions and alterations to the Adam original. The interior of the principle floor boasts a Library and magnificent Drawing Room on the south side and a Dining Room to the west with carved woodwork dating from 1750 and an ornate Robert Adam ceiling. All are still in use today.

From the Sherrifhall Roundabout on the City Bypass follow signs for A68 South. Go through Dalkeith and continue on A68 signposted Jedburgh. Travel on the A68 for about another 3 miles. Oxenfoord Castle is on the left hand side of the road, opposite the turn off to Gorebridge.
