The Highlander entertained at the Wedding of Suzannah and Andy Farnsworth on the evening of 16 October 2000. Suzannah and Andy, together with their guests from America and Scotland, had an unforgettable Wedding reception in the spectacular surroundings of the historic Borthwick Castle. Borthwick Castle was built in 1430 by Sir William de Borthwick and is steeped in history. At one time a refuge for Mary Queen of Scots and her third husband the Earl of Bothwell, and later beseiged by Cromwell's Army after the Battle of Dunbar. A great time was had by all in what turned out to be a very warm and friendly atmosphere. The Highlander entertained the group throughout the evening with tales of great passion and humour from the pages of Scottish history.

The following testimonial was received from Suzannah and Andy by e-mail:
Dear Ray
We wanted to take a few minutes out of our honeymoon in Austria to thank you for making our wedding day so special. Our 50 guests from all over the world all had wonderful things to say about your performance and said you really brought the history of Scotland and the castle to life. I knew the first time I heard you speak at Drumnadrochit that they would all be able to understand your accent, which is a rare gift I can tell you. I saw some of them wandering around looking at things like the window where Mary Queen of Scots climbed out to meet her husband..... and her little chapel and talking about it. Of course the boys loved the weapons as well, as boys will do.
I very much appreciate your flexibility on the day as we were running very late, and your ability to find little pockets of time to share your stories with us. I have been told so many times that people hate to wait for pictures to be taken but you kept everyone entertained and happy, and got the speeches off to a great start. You really pulled the whole evening together and made a great master of ceremonies.
I wanted to share my love of Scotland with my family and friends, and believe I did so with your help. I even had excellent compliments about you from my Scottish guests! I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting unique entertainment for a wedding.
Thanks again for making our day so very special.
