Tying the Knot in Scotland

When it comes to finding the perfect wedding venue, Scotland is full of romantic gems. Couples can say ‘I do’ against the backdrop of the dramatic coast, an ancient forest, or majestic mountains. If you’d prefer an urban celebration, the vibrant buzz and beautiful architecture of Scottish cities provide a wonderful setting for city-loving nearlyweds. Why not celebrate Scotland’s rich past with a historic venue for your wedding day?

Historic Venues in Scotland

Scotland has no shortage of breathtaking, ancient venues. Whichever part of the country you choose for your festivities, you’ll find a romantic property perfect for your special day. Choose from venues such as carefully restored 17th-century castles, impressive stately homes, and centuries-old merchant homes in the very centre of the city.

Why Choose a Historic Venue?

There are so many reasons to say ‘I do’ in a historic venue, but their capacity for incredible, grand celebrations is worth highlighting. Many of these grand old properties were built to accommodate lavish parties for many guests, and they retain their spacious elegance today. There’s something undeniably special about holding your wedding festivities in a space that has held centuries worth of romantic celebrations.

5.0 out of 5 rating

We had our wedding at Lower and Upper College Halls and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything went so smoothly. Amanda, the Events Manager, was the most helpful person I have ever met. She answered any question we had, was so organised and gave really helpful suggestions on things like timings but never made us feel pressured in any way. The staff on the day were also so incredibly kind and respectful, it really added to the day. The space itself is beautiful and lower college hall especially is so grand that you don't need any decoration. Use of the quad for cocktail hour was stunning and our guests loved the setting. The food was fantastic and really exceeded expectations! Couldn't recommend more!

We absolutely loved The Caledonian. Our whole day was amazing from start to finish, everything went so smoothly (and I can’t thank Gabby, our coordinator enough for making sure we got something to eat whilst getting our photos done)! So many of our guests and wedding party commented on how smoothly everything went and how quick the change overs were when the room was being set up for the next part of the day! Everything we’ve heard has been so positive and it is such a stunning hotel! Genuinely was the best day ever and we both feel it couldn’t have gone any better! Would highly recommend The Caledonian as a wedding venue, it’s perfect in every way!
