Unusual Venues of Edinburgh is a multi award winning Collection of 3 of the most spectacular, exclusive use wedding venues that you will find anywhere in the UK. The Caves, The Rowantree and Marlin's Wynd are situated right in the Heart of Edinburgh's Old Town and are nestled in the depths of the 18th century South Bridge.

Our largest venue, The Caves, can accommodate weddings of 70 to 150 day guests and then 200+ for the evening. Every room in The Caves has a story to tell from vaults that served as stables to the French Cavalry to the remains of houses that pre-date the Bridge itself.

The Caves is a truly unique venue that makes up the sub-structure of the 18th Century South Bridge. There is no venue more Edinburgh than the Caves, or more Scottish, if you consider there was once so much Whisky stored here that it became known as "Whisky Row".

Every room has a special place in Scottish history - from vaults that served as the stables to the French Cavalry who were at one time body guards to the Royal Family, to remains of the houses that pre-date the Bridge itself - with the original terracotta floor tiles still intact! Today, after over 100 years of being lost, the hidden Edinburgh vaults were rediscovered and the original stone vaults of the Old Town Edinburgh have been magnificently restored by the current Managing Director, Norman Rowan junior.

With great regard for preserving the authenticity and history of this venue, for many years they have painstakingly excavated these vaults which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, thus creating this spectacular and very unique venue..
