Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and what better way to celebrate love than in the breathtaking landscape of Scotland? From luxurious honeymoons to fairytale weddings, Scotland offers a diverse range of romantic experiences that cater to every type of couple.

Say “I Do” with a View of the Northern Lights.

Looking for a unique and unforgettable place to get married? Scotland boasts a range of stunning backdrops perfect for the most romantic and memorable moments. Consider tying the knot on the far north coast of Caithness, where you can propose under a dark sky filled with stars and possibly even the Northern Lights. Organizations like Venture North can help you plan a romantic getaway to the North Highlands, with luxury hotels, wild landscapes, and secret hidden beaches.

Tie the Knot in Scottish Style.

In Scotland, almost any location can be used for a wedding. Whether you’re dreaming of a fairy tale wedding in a castle or looking for a venue that reflects a shared interest (such as a whisky distillery, golf resort, brewery, or football stadium), Scotland has something for everyone. The Gretna Green Famous Blacksmiths Shop has been the location for exchanging vows since 1754 and is a truly Scottish wedding experience. For a blend of history and tradition with a touch of modernity and sustainability, Gilmerton House, an exclusive-use Grade A Georgian mansion in East Lothian, is the perfect venue for your big day.

Honeymoon with a Wee Dram.

After saying “I do,” why not spend quality time with your loved one in Scotland? Whether you’re looking for a trip of a lifetime or a quiet, cozy break, Scotland has a beautiful range of options for the perfect honeymoon or romantic escape. Indulge in luxury boutique hotels near whisky distilleries, where you can take a tour, sample some of Scotland’s finest whisky, and relax in a cozy lounge. The unique stories, bespoke bedrooms, and stunning views of Borodale House within the Isle of Raasay Distillery and Glenmorangie House make for the perfect luxury honeymoon or romantic escape.

Toast to the Special Moment.

Scotland is renowned for its carefully sourced local food and fresh, seasonal produce. Raise a glass to your special moment at restaurants across Scotland, such as Loch Fyne Oyster Ltd’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar, the Lobster Shack at North Berwick Harbour, or the recently opened Duck & Waffle in Edinburgh.

Fun Scottish Good Luck Rituals.

Incorporate some quirky Scottish good-luck rituals into your big day. From the bride exiting her house with her right foot forward to sixpence in the bride’s shoe (a tradition in Aberdeenshire and Angus) to a sprig of white heather hidden in the bride’s bouquet (a popular good luck token in the Scottish Border), there are many traditions to choose from. You can also participate in the “wedding scramble,” where the bride’s father throws a handful of coins for children to collect, or even try the feet-washing custom that originates in Fife and Dundee & Angus.

With its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and diverse range of romantic experiences, Scotland is the perfect place to celebrate love.
