Ratho Farm

Ratho Farm’s golf links date to the 1820s, making them older than almost any sporting facility in the southern hemisphere. But the golf is almost beside the point for weddings — what Ratho offers is a landscape of extraordinary scale and beauty, Highland-inflected pastoral country that looks nothing like the rest of Australia and everything like the Scottish interior that many Tasmanian settlers left behind.

Bothwell itself is a heritage town of stone cottages and Georgian buildings, the Clyde River running through it. For couples drawn to Tasmania’s Scottish heritage and the epic emptiness of the Midlands landscape, Ratho Farm is a genuinely singular choice.
