Picture a land with dramatic moors, deep valleys, wild
rivers and majestic mountains; a land salted with tales
of ancient sea monsters and stormy myths and legends
from a far, distant past. Consider a land with genuinely
warm and friendly people.
Then
picture your wedding in front of a grand estate that
once served as the castle and fortress to Bonnie
Prince Charlie. Imagine a piper in full Scottish
regalia playing "Scotland the Brave"
or a deep melodic wedding march on his bagpipes. Picture
a bride in white with a tartan sash matching the jacket
or kilt of her husband-to-be.
Yes,
Scotland was the choice of super-star Madonna
for her most recent wedding. She wanted a truly distinctive,
matchless location and in Scotland she found perfection.
Culloden
House Hotel, an historic estate just outside the
city of Inverness in the heart of the Highlands is one
of the most remarkable sites for a wedding in all of
Scotland. It was once a castle and the setting for Bonnie
Prince Charlie to make his last stand in an attempt
to reclaim the crown of England and Scotland in 1745.
Today,
Culloden House is an elegant country house hotel
with service and food to match its spectacular setting.
The house is almost completely covered with ivy that
is deep green in summer and brilliant red in winter.
There are huge lawns in front and behind the house and
leafy avenues of trees, ponds, and parkland that ramble
through over 40 beautiful acres. There are a myriad
of choices for a perfect outdoor wedding location.
Inside
the mansion are large rooms with elegant ceilings, large
fireplaces, and classic furnishings, all ideal for an
intimate wedding. Their staff is able to handle all
arrangements for your wedding, from flowers and cake,
hairdressers and music to providing the minister, rabbi
or justice of the peace.
Culloden
House has been the choice of Scottish and
English brides for centuries so the staff (who
hasn't been there the entire time!) is very knowledgeable
and efficient and will make sure that your special day
is historic.
Marriage
laws in Scotland make a wedding quite easy. Paperwork
needs to be submitted 15 days prior to your wedding
but it can be sent in from your home. Culloden House
can help with registration and any other legal matters.
You can even be married the day you arrive in Scotland
if you choose. For further information, click on www.cullodenhouse.co.uk
