raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands meets refined, timeless elegance at shieldaig lodge

Overlooking Shieldaig Bay, our recently refurbished Victorian hunting lodge is set in a 26,000 acre private estate, making it an unforgettable and unique Scottish wedding venue for your special day. 

We'll be right by your side to deliver your dream day, whether that means a runaway wedding for just the 2 of you, an intimate affair for 30 guests, or a grand marquee for a much larger shindig (for up to 300 people).

special spaces for your "I do"

For the perfect "I do" moment, you can choose to say your special vows in the lovingly refurbished hotel, or outdoors with views of the loch. There are also churches nearby, should you prefer a church wedding. The hotel itself sits right on the water's edge so there are loch views from nearly every angle. There are few experiences more lovely than watching the seals play as the sun sets over the clear waters of the loch.
