If you’re searching for a luxurious Scottish barn wedding venue with heritage features and countryside surroundings, then Rosebery Steading could be the place.

With capacity for both ceremonies and receptions, plus accommodation for guests on-site, the venue is well suited to full-day celebrations in one location.

A restored steading with countryside setting

Dating back over 200 years, Rosebery Steading was originally part of the Home Farm serving the wider estate. The buildings have since been restored to retain their original character while introducing the facilities needed for weddings and events.

Set within open countryside, the venue offers views across rolling hills and landscaped grounds, providing a natural backdrop for photography and outdoor moments throughout the day.

Wedding spaces for your ceremony and reception

Rosebery Steading offers a combination of indoor and outdoor areas, giving couples flexibility in how they plan their day.

The Threshing Barn, Hayloft Barn and Pumphouse Bar

Three main spaces, suitable for ceremonies, dining and evening celebrations. With exposed stonework and original features to create a rustic setting, while the scale of the space allows for different layouts depending on guest numbers.

The courtyard

At the centre of the steading is a private courtyard, ideal for drinks receptions, outdoor ceremonies or relaxed gathering space between key parts of the day. It also works well as a breakout area for guests.

On-site accommodation for guests

One of the key benefits of Rosebery Steading is its on-site accommodation. Guests can stay across several five individual properties within the steading, with space for up to 28 people.

Each property has been updated with modern interiors while maintaining the original structure, making it practical for couples who want close family or their wedding party to stay on-site.

Flexible planning and use of space

The combination of barn, courtyard and surrounding grounds allows for a range of wedding styles – from smaller, more intimate ceremonies to larger celebrations. Having multiple spaces available also means different parts of the day can flow naturally, with indoor and outdoor options depending on the season and weather.
