Scotland's weather is pretty crazy and unpredictable, but that is part of the fun, right?!

Spring

During the months of March, April, and May, average maximum temperatures will range from 7°C (45°F) to 13°C (55°F).

You have the daffodils, bluebells, cherry blossoms, and rhododendrons which are in bloom. There are plenty of activities to enjoy with lively wildlife and a gentle breeze in the air.

Summer

The warmest months in Scotland are typically June, July, and August, with average maximum temperatures ranging from 15°C (59°F) to 17°C (63 °F).

Because of Scotland's latitude, we have lovely long summer days and often an extended twilight!

Autumn

Temperatures in Scotland in the Autumn are likely to range from around 8°C (46°F) to 14°C (57°F) from September to November.

Autumn colours are vibrant, as the trees change from green to fiery reds, oranges, and yellows – perfect for those wedding photos.

Winter

The coldest months in Scotland are typically December, January, and February, with average maximum temperatures hovering around 5°C (41°F).

In Scotland, the average number of snow days ranges between 15 and 20. However, the Highlands' peaks and mountains receive around 100 days of falling snow!

Certain legal requirements must be met in order to hold your Scotland destination wedding.

You must be at least 16 years old. If you are under the age of 18, you will need parental permission.

You need to notify the registrar in the district where you intend to marry of your intention to marry. This notice must be given at least 29 days before the wedding and no more than three months before the wedding.

At your wedding ceremony, you will need two witnesses.

You must provide the registrar with certain documents, such as birth certificates, passports, or other forms of identification, and, if applicable, evidence of divorce or annulment.

At least 7 days before the wedding, you must obtain a marriage schedule from the registrar. Both partners, witnesses, and the celebrant must sign this document.

In Scotland, you can get married in either a religious or civil ceremony. An authorised celebrant must lead the ceremony.

It is important to note that additional requirements may apply depending on your specific circumstances, such as whether you are a foreign national or have previously been married.
