Fingask Castle Coach

The Fingask Coach has a history of comings and goings

The Fingask Coach has a history of comings and goings – like the Threiplands who have bought Fingask four times over the last 400 years!

It first arrived at Fingask in 1876 - commissioned by Sir Patrick Muray Threipland with his arms beautifully painted on the door.

Manufactured in Edinburgh by J&W Croall it is a four horse town carriage which will now reside in the magnificent Pavilion on Fingask’s Front lawn – the pavilion used to be a Mercedes Benz show room, now it is a popular wedding, events and party venue and newly appointed coach house.

The first to admire this remarkable coach back on home territory will be the Fingask Follies Fans. The Follies - a musical revue like no other - opens its 28th season on 26th April

The Follies season runs over two weekends – tickets are £40 for bring your own interval picnic and £80 to dine in castle splendour – email sue@fingaskcastle.com or call 01821 670777 x 4
