This generally takes place in Mr Carnegie's Dining Room, a marvellous oak-panelled room containing a magnificent oak dining table. As an alternative to Mr Carnegie's Dining Room, Members can opt to dine privately, as couples or small groups in one of the other public rooms - for example in Mrs Carnegie's Sitting Room, Mr Carnegie's study or the Morning Room. The rooms are lit by candles, are very private and Members are served by their own butler. Once the final course has been cleared from the table the party splits, Members going to the Gun Room and guests back to the Great Hall, Drawing Room or Library. The Gun Room is the Members-only sitting room located in the Castle basement.
Guests enjoy the same beverages upstairs.
Ceilidhs are another tradition of the Highlands and of The Carnegie Club. Carnegie loved the pipes and had his own piper to play wake up call in the morning, guests to dinner in the evening and at all other times he deemed appropriate. This tradition has been continued by The Carnegie Club, with Graham Grant, fine piper and Head Gardener to boot, fulfilling the role perfectly. The Organist Carnegie loved organ music and had his own organ installed in the Great Hall in 1904 so that he could have organ music played in the morning as his guests came down to breakfast. The organ is still going strong and Carnegie Club Members and the breakfast recitals continue.
