Lovely Scottish scenery, good food and a late night!

We were married here in June 2006. We loved the venue and setting very traditionally Scottish. It''s great to have Bennachie in the background of the photos, unfortunately it was raining on the day but you can never guarantee a sunny day in summer in Scotland! The meal was also good and their master of ceremonies I think his name was Mark was excellent. The party was also allowed to carry on as late as we wanted last man standing at 6am in the pool room. All the guests seemed impressed as well, my only criticism would be the bar prices were expensive but the same can be said for most wedding venues. I would definitely recommend getting married here.
