Kim and James’ Scottish Castle Wedding at Dalhousie near Edinburgh

The 19th of June saw us at the wonderful wedding venue of Dalhousie Castle in Bonnyrigg, near Edinburgh for the Wedding of Kim and James.

A Scottish Castle Wedding is the dream of many a bride and Dalhousie Castle certainly ticks all the boxes.  The Castle dates back to the 13th century, is steeped in Scottish history, and although it has seen a lot of changes (it was even a Boarding School at one point) it still retains its character and heritage.  Dalhousie is one of Scotland’s finest wedding venues and even has its own chapel, so it was easy to see why Kim and James selected it as their venue.

The weather that day was fabulous, so as soon as the ceremony was over everyone was out enjoying the grounds of the castle with champagne in hand.

Then it was on to the speeches and dinner – James and his groomsmen didn’t disappoint with some very entertaining tales. Then it was on to the evening ceilidh, but not before Kim and James stunned everyone with a fantastic choreographed first wedding dance to the sounds of Sergio Mendes’ “Mas Que Nada”.

So here, as usual, are some of my own personal favourite images from the day:

P.S.  Speaking of romantic weddings fans of Braveheart may note that Edward I (aka Longshanks) stayed at Dalhousie Castle before going on to meet Sir William Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk

P.P.S. “Mas Que Nada” by Sergio Mendes is one of those songs we’ve all heard before but can never remember the title of – it has featured as the theme tune for many TV programmes and adverts including the fabulous Nike campaign for the 1998 World Cup (yes that’s where you’ve heard it before).
