NEW WEDDING VENUES

If you’re on the hunt for the ideal place to host your special day then you might want to consider one of Scotland’s newest and most desirable venues

1. Wedderlie House, Scottish Borders

This 16th-century mansion house is being sympathetically restored to create a new wedding and events venue in time for summer 2020. The 60-acre estate, which includes a separate cottage, converted stables and cabins, will be available on an exclusive or partial hire basis for weddings or corporate groups. Focused on creating bespoke experiences rather than fixed packages, Wedderlie allows clients more freedom to design and create exactly the kind of event they want. Boasting a private location, extravagant requests from fireworks to fairground rides are welcome and larger weddings can also place a marquee on the grounds. There are over 40 beds available, with more planned. Viewings available from February. www.wedderliehouse.com

2. Rosebery Steading, Edinburgh

An 18th-century steading conversion and barn space, lovingly restored and sympathetically developed from a 200-year-old farm village into a versatile entertaining space with luxurious accommodation, landscaping and a private central courtyard. Set amid private estate grounds and rolling countryside to the south of the city, there are additional outdoor areas providing space for activities and entertaining. The two barn spaces can cater for up to 100 people seated. Offering rustic charm combined with contemporary design and executive luxury, Rosebery Steading is available to pre-book now for weddings, private parties and incentive events from spring 2020.
