Boturich Castle in Alexandria G83 8LX, open May–September.
Boturich Castle stands apart as a 14th-century stronghold offering genuine Scottish heritage rather than a manicured countryside retreat.
The estate commands panoramic views across the River Leven and Loch Lomond, with 20 acres of private grounds that function as both ceremony backdrop and guest experience.
This is raw authenticity: stone walls, period architecture, and landscape that shaped clan history.
We were totally blown away with Boturich Castle from the very first time we stepped foot there when we traveled up from Norfolk for the day to attend the open day last January. But on our big day on 29th May 2026, it was even more spectacular than we remembered. All of our guests were stunned by the venue, location, setting and the views. However, it was not only that that made our day absolutely perfect and a dream come true. Your hospitality, warmth and attention to every detail was exceptional. From the wedding coordinators, who helped from day one with all the communication, recommendations of suppliers, planning and set up for big day itself, a massive thank you to Erin, Isla, Jennifer and the rest of your team! You have all done an amazing job and worked so hard and made planning a wedding easy and enjoyable! And also to Ruairidh- your welcome, warmth and personal touches on the day made our day truly magical. We were truly made to feel like royalty! I definitely felt like a queen for that day! The bar staff were fantastic - professional, efficient, good fun and never kept anyone waiting! Thank you to all. We hope you all had fun too! Also, to the chefs behind the scenes that no one sees! The food was exceptional. Everyone commented on how amazing it was. And for 131 guests to all say that, I’d say you all absolutely exceeded all expectations. Thank you! We have had dozens of our guests say to us it is the best wedding they have ever been to, even one of our best friends who said our wedding was even better than his own! For most it was their first time in Scotland and I think anyone would struggle to find a more spectacular venue. It was second to none! There were so many extra details…even the kids boxes! What a perfect special touch for the children at the drinks reception so they were happy while the adults enjoyed their canapés. (And the kids loved the hills outside- they were perfect for knee sliding! Not sure their suits loved those so much, but was great entertainment 😂). Honestly, I cannot thank you all enough. It was the best day of our lives without a shadow of a doubt. We are so truly grateful to all of you and choosing Boturich for our wedding venue was not only one of the easiest decisions we’ve ever made, but one of the best! We wish we could do it all over again. Thank you doesn’t seem enough. But, thank you! We couldn’t recommend Boturich Castle enough!
