Bankruptcy looms for wedding venue castle

A number of weddings at a 15th-century Scottish castle which specialised in Game of Throne-themed nuptials have been suddenly cancelled as bankruptcy looms for its owners.

Comlongon Castle near Dumfries ceased trading on 8 April with claims the venue failed to let bridal parties know of the closure.

The number of wedding bookings that can no longer be honoured has yet to be confirmed but those due to celebrate at Comlongon Castle have been asked to contact the castle’s new trustees at as a matter of urgency.

It comes as the castle’s former owners now make an application to be declared bankrupt.

One couple due to wed at the castle in July, Suzanne Campbell and William Wakefield, both 23, told BBC Scotland they were “devastated”.
