The Wedding Website of Nicola Tait and William Ziegler

We're so excited for you to join us for our special day in a stunning traditional Scottish castle! The Drumtochty Estate is located in the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside surrounded by 350 acres of woodland glen. For our local friends, the easiest way to get to the castle is by driving. There will be lots of people driving up so please reach out if you require a ride. For our international friends, we've listed some transport options below. Please reach out if you need help organising transport from the airport.

Travel Note

UK ETA

For our international guests, you will now require the new UK ETA Visa to enter the UK. For more info and to apply online please visit: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta

Flight

Edinburgh or Glasgow

Edinburgh and Glasgow both offer direct flights into the UK from most international cities and are both around a 2 hour drive from the Castle. We recommend renting a car as the easiest way to get around and there is plenty of parking for everyone at the estate. If you prefer not to drive, you can also book private transfers to and from the airport. Please reach out to us if you need help organising transport.

Flight

Aberdeen

Aberdeen is the closest Airport to the venue but doesn't have as many direct flight options and would require a connecting flight if you are flying from outside of Europe. It's around a 40 minute drive to the Castle or you could organise a taxi service or private transfer.

Train

Laurencekirk

The nearest train station to the castle is Laurencekirk which has direct train links from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen. If you are planning to arrive into Laurencekirk station, please reach out to us as I'm sure someone will happily do a pick up/drop off as it's only a 15 minute drive from the castle.

For all the days along the way
