Loading ...UNUSUAL WEDDING VENUES
While researching weddings I came across several unusual wedding venues in Scotland that you might be interested in.
In Scotland apart from the beautiful Country Houses and Castles available for weddings, there are a number of more unusual settings for your big day.
The Eala Bhan ( Gaelic for White Swan) is a converted herring drifter (large boat to the rest of us) with modern facilities. It can be hired for a day, evening, weekend or even longer.
It can be moored near Urquhart Castle for your ceremony or you may prefer to cruise to Loch Ness and have your Wedding there. Perhaps with the famous Loch Ness Monster in the pictures as an extra guest.
Another beautiful Scottish location is the Rua Reidh Lighthouse. The is on a spectacular cliff top near Gairloch.
Back to Loch Ness again to a luxury Lodge overlooking the Loch. Here you would have five star luxury for yourself and your guests for the wedding and the honeymoon. You could wake up every morning to the spectacular views of Loch Ness.
One of the most famous places in Scotland to get married is Gretna Green. This is the traditional place for those eloping to get married. Now you needn’t elope to enjoy a wonderful wedding there. The Swallow Gretna Hall Hotel was built in 1710 in the village of Gretna Green. It was the original marriage house of the village. Today you can get married in the Blacksmith’s Cottage, the Blacksmith’s workshop or the Linton Room.
A seaplane or a hot air balloon are other great ideas for a Scottish wedding. All that spectacular scenery!
If you enjoyed the movie Brave Heart and Mel Gibson of course, you might like to consider getting married at the Wallace Monument. It is an historic 220 foot high monument to William Wallace built in 1867 on the Abbey Craig and it is a distinctive venue for weddings in Scotland.
Another historic site for a wedding is in the Outer Hebrides where the prehistoric Callanish Standing Stones on the lovely Isle of Lewis could be mute witnesses to the ceremony.
Only the brave would have ventured here a hundred years ago, but it is not unheard of today to hold a wedding ceremony in the Jedburgh Castle Jail, the 19th century Howard Reform prison on the site of the Royal Castle of Jedburgh.
Another well loved location is Rob Roy’s birthplace at Monachyle Mhor in the Trossachs.
Finally if you would like to stage your wedding on the highest spot in the UK then Cairngorm Mountain is the place for you. You take the funicular railway to the top and everything is there that you will need for the big day plus the most wonderful view.
I hope Travel Advice Pages has provided you with a few ideas for your wedding venue and we hope you enjoyed the unusual wedding venues in Scotland.
