Scots beauty spot named as one of the most popular areas to get married in the UK

A POPULAR Scottish beauty spot has been named as one of the most popular areas in the UK to tie the knot.

The stunning scenery of Loch Lomond was one of two places in Scotland to make the list from the Lake District holiday cottages company Wheelwrights.

The experts ranked the top National Parks across Britain for loved-up couples to get married.

And Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park came in at an impressive number three, making it one of the most beautiful blue spaces for couples.

Cairngorms, in the Scottish Highlands, was also listed as the least popular in the list but experts called it a “hidden gem”.

It was singled out for its “wild and beautiful landscape.”

They added: “The gorgeous Cairngorms is around a 45-minute drive from the nearest city, with nearly half the land considered ‘wild land’.

“This remote location may be the least popular, but it’s certainly a hidden gem if you want to get married in a wild and beautiful landscape.”

Loch Lomond came behind Northumberland, which runs along the Scottish border. 

It is home to the UK’s cleanest rivers and darkest skies, with experts saying that “it’s no wonder it’s a hit with the bride and grooms to-be, providing a perfect backdrop to their special day.”

But at the top of the list was Lake District, in Cumbria, which is one of the most famous national parks in the UK for its natural beauty and quaint villages and stunning waters. 

The others that were listed in the top ten include New Forest, Peak District, Pembrokeshire Coast and Yorkshire Dales and Dartmoor.

And, finally, sitting ninth and tenth on the table are Dartmoor, Snowdonia, and Brecon Beacons.

Earlier this year Skye’s Fairy Pools, one of the country’s most picturesque places, was listed as the UK’s top spot for getting down on one knee.

The pools are often cited as beautiful and romantic, so it is easy to see why this would be the perfect destination to whisk your loved one away to if you are going to ask them to marry you.

Photography experts at ParrotPrint.com named it as the third best spot in the world for couples to pledge their love to one.

The Fairy Pools are a natural waterfall phenomenon fed by a series of waterfalls from the Black Cuillins near Glenbrittle that form a series of beautiful rock pools, on the river Brittle, with stunning aqua blue waters, surrounded by dramatic hills and wildlife including red deer.

Visitors from all over the world have flocked here for wild swimming, marriage proposals, and even to take their wedding pictures and it is no wonder when you see just how gorgeous it is.

Even the mile and a half walk there and back is spectacular with views of the Cuillins along the heather-clad way. It’ll take you about 20 minutes to reach the first – and largest – of the waterfalls.

Once on the island try one of the frequent boat trips offering sea angling experiences and wildlife tours for spotting sea eagles and dolphins, while golden eagles are sometimes visible on the mainland.

The more adventurous visitor can try their hand at climbing the Cuillin ridge, a climb stretching 12km from end to end with sumptuous views, visit the rocky pinnacles of Northern peninsula Trotternish, or aim slightly lower with guided gorge walking – the perfect way to experience all Skye’s nooks and crannies.

And there’s plenty of choice for gourmets, too – the Three Chimneys in Colbost and Kinloch Lodge in Sleat both offer Michelin-star treats.
