Boturich Castle
Scotland is a great place to get married. You rarely have to travel more than 10 minutes from any point in the country to find a really beautiful backdrop for your wedding celebration.One of the best things about being in a ceilidh band is the fact that we get to perform in some of the most beautiful places in Scotland.
Raising the game for wedding venues around Loch Lomond (of which there are many) is the recently developed Boturich Castle.
Well, OK. It's not like they've just built an ancient castle, but the point is that they've just added a large fixed marquee which caters for (at a guess) about 200 guests.
They held their first wedding there last week, and Bigdaymusic was hired by the happy couple to provide the wedding entertainment (which included the bagpiper, and also the ceilidh band and DJ for the evening).
Now the Jiggers have played lots of really nice venues around Loch Lomond: The Lodge on the Loch, Luss, Cameron House, Loch Lomond Youth Hostel, Duck Bay, loch Lomond Shores- Drumkinnon Tower, Ross Priory. But the most breathtaking view has to be the one you get from from Boturich.
The castle (and marquee) is situated on a hill north-east of Balloch, and as you can see from the photos, has an unhindered perspective on the loch. The real selling point of Boturich, I think, is the fact that two whole walls of the large venue are completely glass, meaning all the guests benefit from that incredible view for the whole day.
I don't know how much they charge for events held there. I can't imagine that it's cheap… I believe that you can hire in your own caterers,though which might make it a bit more flexible if you can get a good deal on the food.
And of course, catch us on a good day and we might also be happy to shave a few quid off the price just for the chance to play up there again 
Here's some pics of Dougie, Katie and Donald chillaxin' outside the venue…
Looks fantastic!
