Throwback to a wee elopement magic moment 🤍 Just after covid, one couple escaped to Scotland with nothing but each other and two witnesses (aye, that was me and Brent!). Rich () piped them down to the bridge where they said "I do," then later played their favourite tunes on sax over a private dinner just for the two of them. caught every second of it. Some days at Sweetdonside just stay with you.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting for this couple in a million — Suzanne & Scott got married at The Lonach this weekend, and hired out most of the accommodation in the glen for their big day. We were extremely honoured they chose Sweetheart Cottage for their wedding night, and the cabins to house their nearest and dearest.💒💍👰
Over 270 guests made the trip to Strathdon to celebrate with them, filling the glen with laughter, kilts, and confetti — and giving a proper boost to the local community in the process. Businesses, accommodation, hospitality — that's what a wedding of this size means for a wee place like ours, and we're so grateful couples like Suzanne & Scott choose to bring their day here.🤩
A last-minute hiccup meant fireworks weren't possible, but Suzanne & Scott didn't let that dim their sparkle (pun very much intended) — sparklers lit up the road instead, and made for an even more magical send-off.
Huge congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs — thank you for choosing Strathdon, thank you for choosing us, and thank you for bringing so much joy (and 270 guests!) to our wee corner of the Cairngorms. 👰🤵❤️ Sam Pitt - Wedding Photography Aberdeen The Lonach Hall

So much perseverance and love have paid off! I was worried Happy Feet wouldn't make it, having to force-feed her for over a week, and she was so upset. But for the past few days, she's been eating much more on her own, standing, and moving around. I think we've turned a corner, and the calcium is starting to build back up in her legs! 🙏💖
