Scottish castle wedding venue Castle of Park, Scottish highlands
Castle of Park, Banff. Ideal location for an intimate wedding in Scotland.
This romantic pink castle, the earliest part of which dates from 1530, was the home of the Gordon-Duff family until the late 20th century. The current owners, Neil & Rebecca Campbell Wilson took over the castle with 40 acres of grounds in 2007 and after completely restoring the interior of the castle to its former glory by filling it with Antique furniture and hanging the walls with their collection of mainly British Romantic Art they began the task of bringing the garden back to life. The garden, which had undergone considerable landscaping in Victorian times, still boasts picturesque waterfalls, several ponds, an orchard, woodland walks, a laburnum avenue and a rhododendron tunnel.
A beautiful setting for any Venue.

Restoration (2003) - Rescuing Heritage buildings in Britain. Dir. Simon Mansfield
Episode Four of the UK television series dedicated to the preservation of rare and unusual buildings around the UK. This episode's candidates, all in the northeast of England, were Ravensworth Castle near Gateshead, Harperley WW2 prison camp near Durham and Wentworth Woodhouse Conservatory with Stainborough Castle folly near Barnsley.
Other famous locations covered were Hadrian's Wall, Berwick-on-Tweed, Gormley's Angel of the North statue, Alnwick Castle and Dean Clough Mills, Halifax, with a brief nod to the Episode Three contenders, Banchory Sanatorium near Aberdeen, Kinloch Castle on Rhum, and Burra Croft on Shetland. Griff Rhys Jones presented the series. In this episode, contributions were made by the journalist Kate Adie, historian Michael Wood and gardener Rachel de Thame. This was an Endemol Production for the BBC, therefore not my work and only uploaded for your private edification and enjoyment. I rescued the programme from a remarkably well-preserved old VHS cassette.
The sad postscript to this programme is that many of the buildings featured have yet to be secured. Following massive investments, the Wentworth Estate and (in 2013) its conservatory were eventually rescued but failed to operate profitably, resulting in its closure in 2017. Harperley Camp remains largely unrestored but for a very recent effort to restore the theatre building. Despite an ambitious revival project, Ravensworth remains in a ruinous state and on the English Heritage At Risk Register. Banchory Sanatorium was destroyed by fire in 2016.
It has been the smaller and simpler buildings that have fared better; Burra Croft now operates as a small island museum. Kinloch Castle on the isolated Scottish Isle of Rhum was once criticised for its dull external design, yet it may well have been its simplicity that largely preserved its lavish interiors. It continues as a tourist attraction but currently requires significant investment following ownership transfer from Scottish National Heritage to a local Community Trust.
