Any suggestions for Elopement Venues in Scotland?
Hey guys I am planning a small wedding reception/ceremony in Scotland in early summer of 2028, and I wonder if y'all have ideas for places that you've heard of or tried that work well. We are coming from America. I was hoping to have a nice place where ~20 of us can stay and dance for a reception, and also looking for places in nature to do a wedding ceremony and/or pictures. It seems that places offering a full package of residence and dance floor/ ceremony location options might be best for planing from across the planet. I have found Airbnbs like Duns Castle, Hillhouse in Ayrshire, and a place called The Tormaukin inn as well as hotels like The Stair Arms and the New Lanark Mills which offer packages for this kind of thing. I know that you can drive a couple hours to get to some pretty nature no matter where you are, but find that it is hard to get a place near the biggest, seemingly prettiest mountains in the northwest. I am also worried about bugs causing problems in the early summer (last weekend in may in the current idea) the more northern we go.
If anyone has come across or knows about any nice places for a small, intimate wedding focused on keeping a connection with the nature of the country, let me know! We are taking a Scottish name (Douglass) and I know it might be a bit silly to put stock in that like this, but we've always wanted to visit and it seems like a good time to do it!
