Get married at The Craw's Nest
Your wild wedding spot on the Fife coast
A stretch tent, food cooked over fire and your favourite people gathered around tables made here on the farm, using wood from the estate. The Craw’s Nest is our outdoor wedding venue in Fife, tucked away in one of the most remote parts of the estate near St. Andrews.
For weddings of up to 50 guests, it offers a relaxed celebration surrounded by nature, with food and drinks taken care of by our team.
It’s a setting for a more intimate wedding in the Fife countryside, where you can gather your guests around the table, share incredible food cooked right in front of you and let the day unfold.
Want somewhere that no one will ever forget?
Then maybe The Rhynd’s wild weddings at The Craw’s Nest are for you.
The food is a big part of what makes a wedding here special. Our chef Jack Baldwin, previously sous chef at the Michelin-starred Peat Inn, makes everything from scratch using local ingredients. He cooks over an Argentinian grill right in front of you, with menus ranging from a seven-course tasting menu to an open-fire feast, depending on your guest numbers.
You’ll sit at tables we made here on the farm from one of our own poplar trees, with decorations from the surrounding forest and the sounds of local wildlife around you.
We take care of the setting, food and drinks through a set package. You organise your celebrant, photographer and music, and if you need a few recommendations, we’re happy to help.
All that’s left is to say “I do” somewhere a little out of the ordinary.

Working for a sustainable future
The Craw’s Nest makes use of what we have here on the estate. The food comes from the farm or the local area, and the grills were made from off-cuts of metal in our workshop.
The tables and benches were built from a poplar tree that had to be felled because of the electricity pylons. The wood we burn on the grill and in the fire pit comes from trees brought down by Storm Arwen.
For every plate of food we serve at The Craw’s Nest, we’ll plant another tree. We plant these trees each year as part of our ‘plates for pines’ initiative.
