Sorn Castle wedding photography and film
Sorn Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland is a fairytale castle set along the banks of the River Ayr. The turreted exterior, grand rooms, and lush grounds create a dramatic, romantic setting for wedding films with real Scottish charm.
We've filmed at Sorn Castle more than once, and every time those turreted towers and the River Ayr come into frame, the footage just sings. The grand interiors give us rich, dramatic light to work with, and the grounds offer that rare kind of Scottish countryside that feels genuinely wild and romantic at the same time.
Getting to Sorn Castle
Kilmarnock is your nearest train station, sitting around 8 miles from Sorn Castle and well connected to Glasgow Central. From there, a taxi or pre-booked car is your best bet into the village. If you're flying in, Glasgow Prestwick Airport is the closest at roughly 12 miles away, with Glasgow International around 25 miles and offering more flight options. There is parking available at the castle, so driving is a straightforward option for most guests. Car sharing is worth arranging if you can. For the evening, book your taxis back in advance. Local firms in Kilmarnock and Mauchline are reliable but get busy, so don't leave it until the night.
