Could there be a more romantic setting for an elopement than the Three Sisters of Glencoe?

Even the photographer said, “James and Sharon’s wedding was a wonderful, heart warming, intimate celebration of love.”
I don’t like to use the ‘B’ word but despite all the uncertainty around Brexit, more and more couples are choosing to speak their vows in Scotland.
