Choose a wedding venue in Scotland for your dream day

Wedding venues in Scotland have never been more popular, with a growing number of people from all over the world choosing to tie the knot in one of the many ideal locations.

Scotland's romantic image owes much of its appeal to beautiful scenery, castles and fairytale settings, and the country has always been a magnet for those wishing to make their dream day extra special.

It has long been a tradition for the rich and famous to exchange vows in Scotland.

Madonna was married in a Cathedral in Sutherland and held her glittering reception in a castle, Stella McCartney tied the knot in a magnificent period house on the Isle of Bute, actresses Emma Thompson and Jennifer Connelly, Take That's Mark Owen... the list goes on.

While religious ceremonies are still popular, recent changes in the law allowing civil ceremonies to take place practically anywhere have resulted in an explosion of exciting venues, such as herring boats, lighthouses, standing stones, beaches, mountain tops - you name it, nowhere is out of bounds for adventurous couples making a statement.

But make no mistake - weddings have always been big business in Scotland. Gretna Green, just over the Border, is famous for its wedding heritage which relates to the difference in laws surrounding marriage. More than 4000 couples (about 13% of all marriages performed in Scotland) still exchange vows there every year.

Wherever you decide to tie the knot, a wedding venue in Scotland will capture the magic of your dream day.
