Set your dream wedding in a neo-Gothic Scottish castle, nestled in 350 acres of wild forest glen. The breathtaking landscapes, 2-acre lake with a wooden bridge, and romantic tree-lined driveway serve as a worthy background for the majestic 19th century building where your celebrations will take place. Antique furniture and utmost comfort await you inside. According to customer reviews, the venue is simply magical regardless of the season, and their weddings were nothing short of perfect.

Drumtochty Castle is located in the small Scottish town of Laurencekirk, colloquially known as The Lang Toun. Served by a railway station, the town is linked conveniently to Aberdeen and Dundee. Nearby Cairngorms National Park and Dunnottar Castle are worth visiting if you are planning on a longer stay.
