01
The only wedding on the estate
We host one wedding at a time. While you're here, the glen, the barn and the team are about nobody else.
The Barn
A barn wedding in the Angus Glens, up to 150 of your favourite people, with the glen out the windows.
Start planning your dayThe warmth is already built in. Beams dressed in greenery and fairy lights, and the Highland glens just outside.
One wedding at a time. Yours.
Barn, meadow or kirk, twenty guests or a hundred and fifty, however you shape the day, it is built on the same promises.
02
Three days, not a time-slot
Arrive the day before, marry in the middle, leave slowly the day after, and with beds for 88 on the estate, everyone stays with you.
03
Everything's included
Coordinator, set-up, styling, reception drinks, the evening buffet, included from the start, not added at the end.
A day in the barn
From welcome drinks to the last dance, the whole day flows through one beautiful space.
The space
Rustic charm with room to breathe, up to 150 seated for the wedding breakfast, magical views of the Highland glens, and an outdoor area made for alfresco drinks. Couples tell us it barely needs dressing; the space speaks for itself.
Your ceremony, your way
Marry right here in the barn, say your vows outdoors on the glen, or walk down from Clova Kirk, however you arrange the moment, welcome drinks, the wedding breakfast and the evening reception all come home to the barn.
Into the evening
Dinner gives way to dancing, a Band, a DJ or a Ceilidh, with an evening buffet of your choice and when the music stops, nobody calls a taxi: the lodges are steps away.

The arrangements are handled and the essentials are included at no extra cost, no surprise add-ons, no wedding tax. The same is true whichever setting you choose.
