Surgeons Quarter

Surgeons Quarter is one central destination consisting of four venues. Each one shares its location and history with an unrivalled passion to deliver world-class service and style.  We’re an independent organisation, which allows us to offer a more flexible, personalised experience. This is exemplified by the importance we place on attention to detail – something that can be traced back through our history books – meaning we understand how delivering on the little things is just as important as the big things. So whether you’ve come to Surgeons Quarter to entertain important guests, to stage an event, treat yourself to a well-earned weekend away or to sample Scotland’s renowned local produce, you can be assured that each and every detail has been taken care of.
