Situated just outside of Edinburgh, in 55 acres of manicured, tree-lined grounds, lies the rather regal Norton House, a 19th century manor filled with classic Scottish charm.
Unwind in the indulgent spa with your wedding party the day before your ceremony, then treat your guests to a day filled with champagne and five-star food and service in the modern Garden Suite, with its floor-to-ceiling windows.
Or maybe you’ll opt for an outdoor ceremony; despite being just outside of Edinburgh city centre, the open fields and lush grounds that surround you will make you feel a million miles away from it all.

What is the most popular wedding destination in Scotland?
While there’s no denying the handy transport links that come with getting married in central and city locations like Edinburgh and Glasgow, many couples also choose to tie the knot in destinations such as Loch Lomond, St Andrews and the Highlands for their spectacular wild landscapes and coastal settings.
Then, of course, just over the border from England, Gretna Green is as popular as ever for elopements and couples who want an intimate and quirky wedding destination.
What are the rules for getting married in Scotland?
While getting married in Scotland is, for the most part, much the same as tying the knot in England and other parts of the UK, there are some key differences, including the age at which you can legally be married and where.
In Scotland, you must be 16 or over to get married and you will need to give notice at least 28 days (but no more than three months) before the date of the ceremony. In England, your notice of marriage is valid for 12 months and you must give notice at least 29 days beforehand.
Scotland is also more flexible when it comes to legally binding religious ceremonies – here, you can have a ceremony in almost any setting providing your officiating clergy agrees, while humanist ceremonies are also considered legally binding.
If you are an English resident getting married in Scotland, always check with your registrar about any documents you will need to submit. You may also be required to collect a Marriage Schedule in person one week before your big day.
