Is this where Georgia Toffolo and multi-millionaire James Watt are getting married? Couple pictured at iconic castle in Aberdeen where iconic movie was filmed ahead of upcoming nuptials
Georgia Toffolo and her fiancé James Watt are getting married at Cluny Castle in Aberdeenshire.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 30, and the BrewDog founder, 42, are set to tie the knot after he proposed to her in October while on holiday in Greece.
The couple now appear to have the 17th century castle in northeast Scotland in mind for their upcoming wedding.
Georgia and James have been spending time with the castle’s owners, Cosmo Linzee Gordon and his wife Bronya, lately.
The couples spent New Year’s Eve together with Georgia sharing a photo of the group saying she had the ‘Perfect NY’.
She added that they enjoyed “dinner at Brewdog, then pajamas on the couch with our lovely friends and the kids.”

The castle has its own beautiful chapel which can be decorated with flowers for weddings
Georgia and James, who is from Aberdeenshire, also appeared at the Cluny Christmas Carols at Cluny Castle in December.
The castle is privately owned by Cosmo, who has completed extensive renovations on the grounds that were originally built around 1604.
It is not open to the public, but does host weddings and corporate events.
The castle can accommodate up to 120 guests for a ceremony, while the dining and drawing room can accommodate up to 24 guests.
The Tenants Hall can accommodate up to 90 guests for dinner and dancing, or up to 150 guests for dancing if an additional marquee is erected.
The castle was also used as a filming location for the 2006 film The Queen, in which Helen Mirren played the Monarch. It was used for Balmoral scenes.
Former I’m A Celebrity winner Georgia has been spending a lot of time in Aberdeenshire since getting together with James and said it now feels like home.
She previously wrote on Instagram: ‘Wow, it’s good to be home. Scotland really feels like that to me right now. That’s crazy!’
The pair have been dating since the summer of 2023 and live together in London.

Georgia announced the news of their engagement while showing off her huge diamond engagement ring, telling her Instagram followers: ‘James just asked me to marry him.
‘It really was the best moment of my life so far. I didn’t know I could be so happy. The easiest and quickest yes to being your wife.
‘Our love story is my favorite. How we managed to find each other among the billions of people out there will always be my greatest blessing.
“I love you forever and the magical life we are building.”
James – who is believed to be worth £262 million – has a stunning eight-carat band studded with triple diamonds, estimated to be worth £200,000.
Georgia shared exclusively with MailOnline that her engagement ring was the ‘most stunning thing’ she had ever seen.
“I mean, I think this is the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t quite believe it. I still pinch myself that that’s on my hand.

The interior of the castle has an old-world charm with many period features and antique furnishings
With large windows and high ceilings, in addition to the historic details, it is the ideal location for a traditional wedding
There’s even a large organ, perfect for scoring the couple’s vow exchange
Gilded mirrors and family heirlooms fill every room, with plenty of room for the couple’s undoubtedly enormous guest list.
‘I had no idea how James would ask me to marry him, but months ago he said, ‘What [ring] Would you like it if we got engaged? And I thought, “Oh my God, I know exactly what I want!”
“So he then said, ‘Why don’t we choose it together?’ I know a lot of people think there has to be a surprise, but I think there’s a lot of pressure on a guy to get something like that right.”
She added: “He’s so smart. I’ve never met anyone like him, and I’ve met a lot of really successful people. I feel really lucky to have him as my confidant.”
Just days before Christmas, the happy couple gathered with their friends and family at one of James’ BrewDog branches in Aberdeen to celebrate their upcoming nuptials.
The pair pulled out all the stops for a party, capturing special moments with a 360 photo booth while posing up a storm on a sled.
As well as the highlights, 2024 has also been a difficult year for the couple, with James’ father tragically passing away in August after battling pancreatic cancer.
In December, James asked his social media followers to vote on whether he should delay his wedding to Georgia for three years to ensure he doesn’t miss out on a tax credit, but he later clarified this was a joke.
He stepped down as CEO of Brewdog last year and has raised more than £2.5 million in investment for his new venture, a social media platform called Social Tip.
He handed over the reins to chief operating officer James Arrow, but will remain on the group’s board as a non-executive director and will continue to advise the group on strategy.

Georgia was previously engaged to Nigel Farage’s former right-hand man, millionaire aristocrat George Cottrell, nicknamed Posh George.
He spent eight months in a US prison over a money laundering scandal.
The couple broke things off and briefly rekindled their spark in 2022 before going their separate ways for good.
James was previously married to Johanna Basford, a Scottish illustrator whose adult coloring book, The Secret Garden, has sold more than ten million copies worldwide.
The former couple, who share two children, divorced in 2020.
