Where was A Merry Scottish Christmas filmed? Glencrave and the real castle location

The Duns Castle Estate in the Scottish Borders doubles as the fictional Glencrave Castle.

Dating back to the 14th century, the former Norman keep was transformed between 1818 and 1822 into the magnificent Neo-Gothic house seen in the movie.

Family-owned since 1696, the charming Duns Castle sits at the center of a beautiful 1,200-acre estate.

Like many privately owned historic properties of this scale in Europe, the castle is often rented out for weddings, corporate events, and luxury stays.

Some of the castle's stunning interiors were also featured in the film, including the spacious Main Drawing Room.

With a lovely fireplace and gorgeous windows overlooking the surrounding nature reserve, this hall also serves as the castle's wedding ceremony room.

When the family goes to the town of Glencrave, it appears for the first time an establishing shot filmed in Inveraray.

This quaint town on the shores of Loch Fyne in western Scotland is known for its stunning 18th-century castle.

The rest of the production was filmed on location in Ireland.

The town's Christmas market square was filmed at the historic farm buildings of the Barberstown House in Straffan.

Glencrave's local pub, The Salingers, is Brennan's Kilteel Inn, located in the village of the same name in County Kildare.

Easter egg: This is the same name of the family restaurant in Party of Five.

- I'm sorry, do I know you? Also, actor Will Kemp, who starred with Chabert in Christmas Waltz and The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango, makes a cameo appearance.

This cozy old Irish pub is housed in a 100-year-old house with tiled floors, two Victorian fireplaces, and, according to the locals, a haunted room.

The Kilbeggan Distillery in County Westmeath was renamed Kilbride Distillery for the tour and whiskey-tasting scenes.

Established in 1757, Kilbeggan Distillery is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Ireland, boasting a rich heritage in whiskey production.

Due to financial difficulties, the company ceased production in 1957, but the license was retained and the brand was later renovated, with distillation resuming on site in 2007.

The Forge Head Shedlands Cafe is also one of the rooms at Barberstown House.

It seems that the scenes with the Shetland ponies were filmed in the grounds of Harristown House near Punchestown, also in County Kildare.

This beautiful Georgian mansion is surrounded by picturesque gardens and woodlands.

The Barberstown House farm is adjacent to the Barberstown Castle, whose banquet hall is also featured in the movie as the Glencrave Christmas Ball room.

Lovingly restored into a luxurious hotel, this old 13th-century fortress blends historic charm with modern comforts, offering guests an enchanting stay within its ancient walls.

Rising to fame as Bailey Salinger on the iconic series Party of Five, Scott Wolf's career spans over two decades.

Wolf has appeared on several acclaimed shows including Everwood, The Nine, V, NCIS, Perception, and NBC's hit The Night Shift.

Most recently, he played Carson Drew on The CW's Nancy Drew series.
