MARK Owen's Take That pals flew into Scotland yesterday ahead of his fairytale wedding tomorrow.
Heart-throbs Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald landed at Inverness airport as celebrations for the singer's big day got under way.

They touched down in a luxury private 17-seater Lear jet but went to great lengths to keep their arrival secret.

The aircraft was turned around on the Tarmac to keep them away from the glare of adoring fans.

The group - whose many hits include Greatest Day - were then whisked away in a people-carrier to their luxury accommodation six miles away at Cawdor Castle, near Nairn, to kick off the wedding celebrations.


A source said: "They tried their best to keep their visit low-key.

"Mark wants to keep this wedding very private and away from public eyes.

"However, it is the worst-kept secret in the world."

It was rumoured former bandmate Robbie Williams would be on the same flight.


Expected ... Robbie WilliamsBut it's believed he is still expected to turn up to watch Mark, 37, marry his sweetheart Emma Ferguson, 33.

They will tie the knot at the tiny Cawdor Church of Scotland - in front of their two children Elwood, three, and nine-month-old Willow Rose.

Around 60 guests are expected, including family and stars including Coldplay's Chris Martin and his actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow.

The bash kicks off today with the male guests expected to take part in clay pigeon shooting and off-roading. The female guests and the bride-to-be are believed to be having a pampering day.

A pre-marriage booze-up has also been organised in two teepees, erected in the grounds overlooking the River Findhorn at Drynachan.

It was also revealed the couple will walk half a mile from the church to their wedding reception in the castle.

A huge knees-up has been organised in the castle, where they have converted the gift shop into a disco. An old kitchen has also been transformed into a bar.


Mark, who won the second series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2002, has been engaged to Emma since 2006.

The couple, who have turned down magazine offers to cover the ceremony, have told friends the venue is their dream location.

The castle sits on 49,400-acre Cawdor Estate, which covers half the county of Nairnshire.

There will be plenty of accommodation for the wedding party, with the estate's Drynachan Lodge sleeping up to 22 people, and a further five cottages available.

The location, which has hosted visits by David and Victoria Beckham and Elton John, is favoured by the stars for its privacy.
