Romance blossoms as icons of Ross-shire tie the knot
THE oldest inhabited castle in Scotland is working with an iconic Ross-shire venue to provide the perfect partnership for couples tying the knot.
The agreement reached by Strathpeffer Pavilion and nearby Castle Leod is the latest in a series of initiatives which are helping raise the profile of the spa village.
Pavilion manager Andrea Muir explained: “We were so pleased when the Earl of Cromartie approached us to ask if we would be interested in helping them to promote the castle as a venue for weddings.
"It was one of Lord Cromartie’s forebears who commissioned the building of the Pavilion as a centre for social occasions in 1881 so it is highly appropriate that the current partnership has developed.”
The number of guests for ceremonies at Castle Leod is limited to 60 but, with the Pavilion hosting the reception, up to 200 guests can celebrate in style with dinner and dancing within easy reach of the romantic and inspiring castle.
As Castle Leod is the seat of the Chief of Clan Mackenzie, the Pavilion is expecting a great deal of interest especially from the clan diaspora in the United States.
