Wedding day mansion sold after revamp

A HISTORIC Lothians mansion has been sold following a major refurbishment that has seen it established as a leading wedding venue.

Musselburgh's Carberry Tower, which is the historic seat of the Elphinstone family, has been bought by Amazing Retreats, part of the Clarenco Group.

The sale follows a significant refurbishment of the 59-bedroom property by previous owners Gartmore House, a charity.

Mike Clare, founder and executive chairman of Amazing Retreats, said: "Carberry Tower is a fascinating property and makes a great addition to our portfolio.

"This is a property that really is fit for a queen and we look forward to meeting and working with the community to make Carberry Tower the place to stay in East Lothian and Edinburgh."
