Kelly & Simon’s Wedding at Branxholme Park
Set amongst the wonderful countryside of the Scottish Borders, near Hawick, Branxholme Park is one of those wedding venues that immediately makes an impression when you arrive. Surrounded by woodland, lawns and beautiful grounds, it feels wonderfully secluded — almost as though the whole place has been handed over to you for the day.
The estate has a fascinating history stretching back centuries. The Branxholme area has long been associated with the powerful Scott family, whose influence is woven deeply into the history of the Scottish Borders. The original Branxholme Castle was an important stronghold of the Scotts of Buccleuch, one of the great Border families, in a part of Scotland once famous for its turbulent history and the legendary Border Reivers.
The Branxholme we see today is a rather more peaceful place!
The historic house sits beautifully within its extensive grounds and combines the character and grandeur you would expect from a Scottish country estate with the relaxed atmosphere of an exclusive wedding venue.
