Fingask Castle, Perthshire
Dax and Sarah met at school in Perthshire, so returning to Scotland to say “I do” feels exactly right. From walks around Rome to a life built together in London, every adventure has led to this one.
We are so glad you’re going to be part of this day with us.
Times are approximate — full details will be confirmed with your formal invitation.
