Nestled in Trotternish, Northern Skye, just minutes from where Bonnie Prince Charlie landed with Flora MacDonald, Monkstadt 1745 Luxury Lodge offers an intimate, luxury setting for weddings. With stunning sea views, sweeping skies, and restored historic cottages, it blends privacy, heritage, and elegance.
Monkstadt 1745 True Love Story is steeped in history and romance. Centuries ago, Jessie MacDonald (1829-1896) defied her family’s plans for her marriage, escaping her cottage (North Uist) by tying sheets together at night to meet her beloved, Donald MacDonald (1825-1894). Their courageous love story lives on in the walls of Monkstadt 1745, alongside the rich legacy of the Clan McDonald Chief. This history adds a timeless, intimate charm to every celebration.
