What is a Highland Wedding?

Well, tartan kilts and bagpipes are certainly part of it. And there should really be a good ceilidh at the reception with a lively local band. But more than any of this - a Highland Wedding is about place.

It’s the atmospheric landscape and rich culture of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland that bring a sense of occasion and romance to your special day. A Highland wedding can take place in a grand stately home filled with clan treasures, or in a crumbling old romantic ruin.

You could say your vows on a heather-covered moor, on the slopes of the wild Scottish hills or on the bright and breezy shores of the coast. Get married while sailing on a loch or an a steam train winding its way through the landscape. Why not make a weekend of it and sail over to the islands for a laid-back family wedding. Or get married in the city and enjoy the lively cosmopolitan atmosphere, surrounded by modern Scottish culture. All of these capture the feeling of a Highland wedding.
