 A wonderful woodland setting in the Scottish HighlandsIf you're into the outdoors and are looking for a way to make your special day even more special, then why not tie the knot in a wonderful woodland setting? Caig Waterfalls near the shores of Loch Arkaig is a magical place - tranquil and unique. The wedding ceremony site The site is available for civil ceremonies, civil partnerships and religious ceremonies. It's located next to the Caig Waterfalls and Witches Pool. All around are mature, native trees. A visit before the big day is definitely recommended to appreciate the true beauty of this spot.
The surrounding area is steeped in history and legend. It was just above the waterfalls that, in 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie hid in a cave from the redcoats after his defeat at the battle of Culloden. You'll even be part of a little bit of Hollywood glamour, as it was at this location that Liam Neeson, playing Rob Roy, fled from his oppressors in the film of the same name.

From here, turn right onto the B8005 and follow the road almost as far as the shore of Loch Arkaig. The car park is on the right hand side. The last 5 miles of this road are single track, so take extra care. Access to the wedding site from the car park is very easy and is suitable for wheelchair use. Contact usLochaber Forest District
