You get the choice of tying the knot inside the castle itself or in the outdoor pavilion (for those who can’t resist a summer wedding), and one of the best things about this venue is its selection of wedding ‘freebies’, including chairs, napkins, tables, cutlery, lighting, speakers, and even a sweetie cart and red letter box!

Perthshire Wedding Venues: FAQs
Not to be confused with Perth in Australia, Perthshire (or just ‘Perth’ for short) is a Scottish county right in the heart of the country.
Known as the Big Country, Perthshire is a scenic and atmospheric location that straddles both the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands. It’s known for its royal history, and was once the main residence for the country’s monarchs.
Yes, absolutely. Owing to Scotland’s unusually relaxed laws on al fresco weddings, it is possible to get married almost anywhere you wish in Scotland.
Each Scottish season holds its own charm, but the country is particularly popular for winter weddings, owing to the relaxed laws around getting hitched outside, as well as the probability of snow.
Be mindful of the fact that winter wedding venues get snatched up quickly, so book well in advance.
