Why Eloping in the Scottish Highlands is the Ultimate Choice
Breathtaking Locations
From heather-covered mountains, to vast lochs and ancient castles, the Scottish Highlands set the scene and they’re just waiting for you to tell your story. Whether you dream of declaring your love in the Lost Valley of Glencoe, on the banks of Loch Maree, or deep in the enchantment of the Cairngorms, Scotland has the setting most perfect for you. The beauty of eloping in Scotland is there are no rules. No venues to consider, no crowds, no time limits. When we find a spot you love, simply put the location or coordinates on your notice of marriage form and set the scene for your love story.
Intimacy
Your elopement embodies intimacy. The very idea of an elopement removes all distraction and pressure, and allows you to focus on the most important part - your marriage to one another. There are no rules to how your day should look or who should be in attendance, the most beautiful thing about eloping is that you have the choice to do it all your own way. Exchange vows with your closest loved ones and choose two special people to bear witness. If you opt for an intimate ceremony with just the two of you, myself and my husband would be truly honoured to be your witnesses. Whatever you dream of, we can make it happen.
Authenticity
When eloping in the Scottish Highlands, there is no need to perform for a hundred guests, be the centre of attention, or follow strict timeframes. There is a gorgeous, soulful authenticity about eloping that allows you to truly be yourself. Whether you’re dreaming of a dramatic landscape, a quiet woodland escape, or a wild adventure, the Scottish highlands sets the scene for your story exactly as you wish to tell it.
