Castles that have stood guard atop craggy mountain outcrops, or that nestle at the edge of a peaceful loch side, a castle wedding guarantees couples both peace and privacy. Many of Scotland's castles are still home to Clan chieftains and exude the scents sights and stories of hundreds of years as grand family homes. One Scottish castle is now ranked along with Ayers Rock, the Grand Canyon and the Taj Mahal as one of the 40 places in the world that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.

It's the magical yet severe beauty of Eilean Donan Castle which won this 'world' accolade, boasting as it does a spectacular yet secluded location at the meeting point of three lochs on a remote island near the Kyle of Lochalsh.
