Rothes Glen

Speyside, Scotland

Weddings for up to 40 guests. Sleeps up to 28 guests in 14 rooms.

Our Experts Say:

An iconic Baronial-style Highland castle, designed by the famous whisky architect Charles Chree Doig, enjoys mesmerising views of the Cairngorms and boasts a mix of stunning indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces. Opulent, richly-coloured interiors boast unique character, and sumptuous, king-size bedrooms include a bridal suite with wet room.

Weddings for up to 80 guests (up to 280 in a marquee). Sleeps up to 52 guests in 27 rooms.

Our Experts Say:

Set in the scenic Scottish Highlands, this 17th-century estate combines historic charm with luxury. Guests enjoy access to beautifully designed public rooms, formal gardens, and a vast 5,000-acre estate ideal for events, family holidays, or retreats. Relax in elegant interiors or explore the woodlands and seasonal blooms.

Forter Castle

Glenisla, Perthshire, Scotland

Weddings for up to 24 guests. Sleeps up to 16 guests in 7 rooms.

Our Experts Say:

This 16th-century stone facade, blending synonymously with its remote Cairngorms landscape, offers indoor or outdoor ceremonies against a Scottish Highlands backdrop. Beautifully-restored, the castle features regally-designed four-poster bedrooms that appear locked in time, a tiny chapel and welcoming, sumptuous rooms in which to celebrate intimate weddings.

Cluny Castle

Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Weddings for up to 100 guests (up to 500 in a marquee). Sleeps up to 28 guests in 14 rooms.

Our Experts Say:

Nestled amongst acres of wooded parkland and completely hidden from view, Cluny Castle exists in a world of its own. As you pass through the main gates and make your way up the tree-lined driveway, the estate opens out, revealing beautiful sweeping lawns and the panoramic view of Cluny that may have first sold you on this Scottish wedding venue.

Kilmartin Castle

Kilmartin, Argyll, Scotland

Weddings for up to 20 guests. Sleeps up to 10 guests in 5 rooms.

Our Experts Say:

Expertly and thoughtfully restored after 200 years of abandonment, this rustic 16th-century castle combines modern luxury with a bold, yet welcoming interior. Spiral staircases, vaulted stone ceilings and individually-named bedrooms conjure romance and a palpable history adds character; a stunning backdrop for a truly intimate and unique wedding.
