Getting married in Scotland

Scotland has allowed same-sex couples to marry since December 2014, and with legal humanist weddings and no residency period, it’s one of the most welcoming places in the UK to say yes, especially for elopements.

Giving notice

Your marriage notice forms must reach the registrar at least 29 days before your wedding, though 10 to 12 weeks is recommended. If you haven’t lived in the UK for 2 years, you may also need a certificate of no impediment from home.

Humanist and belief ceremonies

Humanist weddings have been legal in Scotland since 2005, and today they outnumber all religious weddings combined. Belief and religious celebrants give you lots of freedom in where you marry.

Where couples are saying yes

The Isle of Skye is a favorite, from a humanist elopement to a personalized elopement among the cliffs.
