The 10 Best Barn Wedding Venues in Scotland
There’s something incredibly charming about a barn wedding venue. They’re rustic, surrounded by wonderful scenery, and with barn venues usually comes the idea of a blank canvas so you can make your wedding your own. They’re perfect for those couples wanting a blend of tradition but still being able to put their own twist on things. And they look amazing. We've got a whole list of some of the best barn wedding venues in Scotland full of character and charm to pick for your perfect wedding.
Kinkell Byre
Want to blend countryside and coast? Kinkell Byre sits right on the coast, just outside St Andrews. What used to be a winter home for cattle and ruins of Kinkell Castle is now a beautifully rustic converted barn with second to none views. Priding themselves on being that ‘blank canvas’ and being able to add a personal touch, you can create your dream wedding with any touches and crazy ideas you have over at Kinkell Byre.
Wedderburn Castle and Barns
Do you love the idea of a barn wedding but still want some tradition to remain? At Wedderburn you can combine a castle wedding with a barn party - you get the best of both worlds where history and elegance meets rustic charm!
The Castle boasts many wonderful locations to hold your ceremony. In the summer you can marry on the beautiful castle lawns surrounded by the beautiful grounds, or perhaps you’d want to get married in the light and airy grand ballroom.
The barns are split into two spaces. The Provender Barn for delicious dining and The Cartshed for late night dancing, DJs and debauchery. Both rooms are linked together and decorated with wrought iron chandeliers deep in the rustic beams - it’s a venue full of character but still able to personalise to how you and your partner prefer.
The Byre At Inchrya
Looking for the perfect party venue? The Byre at Inchyra is a 150 acre stretch of enchanting woodland. It’s the perfect location to plan your dream wedding. You’ll have exclusive access to the country estate and there is so much choice on how you can have your wedding. Say “I do” inside the barn or out in the grounds at the Walled Garden or the deep in the woodland. Make it even more exciting, there’s the option to even go camping in the grounds if you and your party can’t resist a camping trip.
Bogbain Farm
Branding themselves as one of the most adaptable places in Scotland for your special day, Bogbain Farm do not lie. An intimate gathering of 20 or a festival style wedding for 300? It can be done here. If you’re a big foodie, why not liaise with the in-house chefs to create an out of this world wedding menu. Fresh seafood, fire pit ribs or a five course banquet? It’s all up to you!
The beautiful barn can be curated in so many wonderful ways to suit you and your partner's needs on your special day. But if one thing is for sure, it will never fail to look beautiful.
Comrie Croft
If you're not one for a formal wedding and looking for adventure and activity then you’re in the right place. Comrie Croft is a 200 year old farmstead, house and barn set around a courtyard nestled inside 231 acres of wood. What is usually an eco activity hub has now been turned into a wedding spot for adventure lovers. Comrie describes the atmosphere as informal affairs with a relaxed house party or even festival atmosphere.
The Croft is perfect if you have friends and family scattered across the country and want to make a whole weekend of your celebrations. Exclusive use of all accommodation - up to 64 people is included in your package. The more people you invite and fill up the accommodation, the less you’ll have to pay for the venue. Start rounding those friends and family members up!
The Barn at Harburn
If you were to witness a barn wedding in a movie, it might look like you were at The Barn at Harburn. The grounds are truly breathtaking and the barn itself is so airy and spacious yet cute and traditional - it is like something out of a fairytale and perfect for gorgeous wedding photos. Add personal and memorable touches - previous guests have written stellar reviews about the freedom to design your dream wedding and experimented with creating picnic tables, adding fairy lights to the barn, creating a cosy evening atmosphere by using the firepit and toasting marshmallows! Cosy and cute.
Harelaw Country Weddings
Made up of 18th century buildings that have been refurbished to blend the modern and traditional, we have Harelaw Farm. This award winning venue is just on the outskirts of Glasgow and has many options for your ceremony. In the summer opt for a beautiful lawn wedding, nestled between the two barns. Or choose from the Wedding Byre - a former milking byre with a rustic atmosphere, exposed brick wall and characteristic beams - it really exudes paired back elegance. Or there’s Hay Barn, for those with a larger guest list, where you have your own stage, dancefloor, light canopy and bar for up to 250 guests.
Guardswell Farm
A perfect venue for the daydreamers and whimsical couples. Guardswell is all about barefoot dancing til dawn, lit up lawns, late night marshmallow toasting, stargazing through glass windows and letting your hair down and having an unforgettable wedding weekend. Not only do you have the barn itself but you have 150 acres of land to explore - go and see the sunrise and do some yoga on the morning of your big day and have a walk to refresh yourselves as newlyweds. The opportunities are endless and memories are ready to be made, however you want them to be.
Tullibole Castle
If you want the magnificent grounds of a castle but still want the rustic charm of a barn - why not explore Tullibole Castle. Set in the Perthshire Countryside it’s incredibly peaceful and tranquil - perfect for affairs you want to be kept more intimate. Arriving here brings a real sense of occasion and spirit. The Carriage House is where you’ll have your Rustic Style Barn wedding which can be extended out into the grounds in summer with marquees and tipis to carry on the celebrations late into the night. But make sure you explore the grounds the next morning.
Roodlea Barn
Can a venue be rustic and at the same time luxurious? Of course it can. Stone walls, vaulted ceilings, stunning chandeliers and the choice of walking down the aisle to two potential views. One - the pond with beautiful views of the rolling golf course or the grand double sided fireplace if you’re after something more cosy. The ceiling is covered in sparkling fairy lights making the setting for dining and dancing truly magical. The rest of night is entirely down to you: a hog roast; a formal sit down meal; dancing waiters; a ceilidh band or dj; – you can make Roodlea Barn your own.
