Take a virtual look around

Nothing beats coming to have a look around and photos don’t really do the Byre justice. Claremont Photography & Films has put together a video to give you as good an impression as possible of what Kinkell Byre Weddings are really like, however, if you are unable to view at the moment.

In person viewings are available most days, get in touch to book an appointment.

A bit about us – Kinkell Byre – Weddings & Cabins

While Kinkell Byre was built in the 1700s as a winter home for the cattle of Kinkell Farm, the farm once stretched all the way to St Andrews. The cattle huddled in the main dining room, their food was stored in the long shed (where the bar is) and the tattie shed at end of the dining area housed the dairy as well as tatties. Some of the stone used to build the byre came from the ruins of Kinkell Castle, which stood near here, down by the sea.

Now part of our logo, Archie, the highland bullock, who lived to the ripe old age of 18, now watches over the entrance to the Byre.

The Fyfe family have farmed at Kinkell since 1950 and since 2003, Kinkell Byre has hosted a wide range of events, weddings, student balls, corporate dinners and activity days. The experience gained in this time gives the team at Kinkell the ability to ensure our customers realise their vision for their perfect event.
