The weekend before last we were lucky enough to be invited to a wedding in the beautiful Scottish village of Craigellachie. Autumn was in all its finery in this Highland village.
The name Craigellachie means ‘rocky hill’ and the town is situated where two rivers, the Spey and the Fiddich, meet.
Craigellachie dates back to at least 1750, when there was a ferry across the Spey below where the village stands.
Craigellachie is in the heart of whisky country and has not one, but two distilleries: the Macallan and the Craiellachie.

The weather generally was not good, and we arrived on the Friday night in pouring rain. Thankfully on the Saturday the sun came out occasionally and in time for some photos. We had a drive around the area before the wedding – the Autumn colours were spectacular. I have not enhanced the colour in these photos, just changed the light levels slightly.
After the ceremony at the little village church, the storm clouds gathered again.
But all made it back to the hotel safely for a wonderful wedding reception.
We will definitely be going back to this place.

Beautiful as ever!
Stunning scenery with amazing colours, what a beautiful place!
It was a beautiful place – we were so lucky the sun came out for a while.
Lovely to see a post from you Annette. What glorious photos, it looks magnificent. What a spot for a wedding.
The hotel was lovely too Chloris – it felt like a family home, albeit a rather posh one!
I love those autumn colours – beautifully photographed.
What a landscape and I’m glad you were able to enjoy a bit of it on your trip. I’m glad the weather gave you a bit of a break to enjoy it.
Yes we were so lucky to have caught the colours. I expect the leaves are all down now.
I always enjoy your photos. The elderberry cluster here is just stunning. 🙂
Thank you. There is something about elderberries isn’t there?
Yes there is. And you’ve captured an amazing sense of weight in this shot; I can almost feel them in my hand. Really, really nice. 🙂
Thank you so much, though it was more luck I think.
Wonderful colours in wonderful countryside – thanks for sharing, Annette
Glad you enjoyed it Cathy. We were very lucky with the timing of the weekend.
It looks like a beautiful place got a wedding .. Lovely images 😃
Thank you.
This autumn the colours have been brilliant, your photos capture it beautifully.
Thank you. I feel we had a late Autumn, but I need to go back and check photos from previous years.
What a beautiful spot – glad you were able to enjoy at least a bit of sunshine!
Thanks it was a great spot. Hope to go back soon.
Wow! These images are breathtaking. Lovely post as well

Belatedly catching up with old posts from my favourite blogs and I must have missed this one… beautiful photos Annette! Scotland does us proud in the autumn, doesn’t it.
