Shot on location at Cambo Country House and Estate, Kingsbarns, Fife. Thanks to the team there.

On the edge of the North Sea, Cambo Country House is arguably the ultimate wedding house-party venue in Scotland. Surrounded by formal gardens, the traditional grandeur of the main house is just a short stroll through ancient woodlands to the wildly beautiful Cambo Sands.
The entertainment spaces are no less impressive. Each with a distinctive character – from the elegant dining room to party spaces in the Courtyard and woodlands – Cambo offers imaginative backdrops for your wedding celebration. The seclusion, a Georgian walled garden, and welcoming accommodation, also ensure visitors to this 13th-century estate instantly fall in love.
