As wedding venues they do not get more romantic than Ardverikie. Having starred as ‘Glenbogle' in the long running BBC Drama, ‘Monarch of The Glen' for many years. The house has reverted to its former role as a splendid family residence and is a perfect setting to begin life together.
The impressive stone floored entrance hall surrounded by antlers, leads into a large ornately panelled reception hall with Persian rugs over wooden floors.
The spacious drawing room, with marble fireplace, hung with family portraits, has an ornate plaster ceiling, and stunning views across Loch Laggan.
The Library has a door leading to the formal garden, which overlooks the loch. It has excellent views across the loch. It has excellent views across the loch and of King Fergus's island.
