Borthwick Castle

A&M chose Scotland as the setting for their two-day wedding celebration. The weekend began with a rehearsal dinner at Barnbougle Castle, where guests were welcomed by traditional Scottish drummers. After dinner, a storytelling performance drew on traditional Scottish tales.

The wedding day took place at Borthwick Castle where guests were greeted on arrival by bagpipe players in Highland dress, before dinner was held in the Great Hall. A surprise opera performance followed, with fireworks bringing the weekend to a close.
