About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2026

Last update: June 2026

Castle Craigard is a beautifully restored Scottish baronial manor and wedding venue overlooking the peaceful shores of Loch Goil in the heart of Argyll. Designed for intimate weddings and unforgettable escapes, the castle offers exclusive use accommodation, breathtaking scenery and a relaxed sense of luxury that allows couples to truly make the space their own. Suitable for small weddings with up to 24 guests, en-suite accommodation sleeps 12.

What makes Castle Craigard special is the feeling it creates. From the moment guests arrive, they are surrounded by dramatic mountain views, lochside tranquillity and the warmth of a private home rather than a traditional venue. Whether exchanging vows outdoors beside the water, celebrating with a candlelit dinner inside the castle’s historic chapel, or simply gathering with loved ones around the fire after a day exploring the Highlands, every wedding here feels deeply personal and completely unique.

Perfect for elopements, micro weddings and multi-day celebrations, Castle Craigard allows couples to slow down and enjoy meaningful time together in one of Scotland’s most beautiful locations — all less than 90 minutes from Glasgow Airport.

As the venue is owned and operated by experienced wedding planners, couples benefit from professional support, thoughtful guidance and a calm, personal approach throughout the planning process. We believe weddings should feel joyful from the very beginning, and we work closely with every couple to create an experience that feels effortless, authentic and unforgettable.

Our Highlands Wedding

We got married in May 2026 in the stunning location of Carrick Castle, overlooking Loch Goil and the surrounding beautiful hills - it was such a magical setting and was exactly what we had pictured for our outdoor wedding ceremony!
Emma was an incredible help in the run-up and on the day of our wedding. She was so approachable and flexible when helping us with final planning aspects and on the day made sure that all of our suppliers were organised and that everything ran smoothly.
We are so glad we enlisted Emma's help with our wedding as it meant that we could concentrate on the meaningful parts of the day and making memories with friends and family!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
