Preliminary Details:

When is it: The ceremony itself will be at 1.45 pm Saturday 11th December 2021 - Please wear whatever you feel comfortable in, but it is early winter in Scotland so a warm jacket is a must!

​

Where is it: Comrie Croft, Comrie, PH7 4JZ, near Crief and Perth. Website is www.comriecroft.com/

COVID-19: It is a shame, but perhaps for the best, that we have postponed our November 2020 wedding to December 2021. This is now a long long way away but hopefully will allow us to have the wedding we hoped for. What would be very useful is for guests to email us so we have an email contact as this will make it easier to let people know as to changes in the plans. 

RSVP: Please let us know if you would like to come, if you would like to stay on-site, if you’d like one night (Sat) or both nights and if you’d be up for sharing with your close friends/family.

Please let us know by the 30th April 2020.

4. 6/6 Dicksonfield, Edinburgh, EH7 5ND, Scotland.

Travel: Comrie Croft (PH7 4JZ) is 1h 30 mins (62 miles) north west of Edinburgh on the A85. If you can, we suggest planning for a long weekend as we appreciate it is a long way for many.

1. By Car: from Edinburgh the preferable route is the M90 to Perth and then the A85 or take the M9(A) past Sterling and then the A822. Free car parking on the site.

2. By Train: Edinburgh Waverly then change to Perth. From there a taxi/bus may be the best option, but Sunday would be limited (need booking).

3. By Air: the closest airports are Edinburgh and Dundee.

We understand this is quite a trek, hence the availability of two nights’ accommodation on-site if you would like, and the long notice. Kids are welcome but we’d suggest treating the weekend as a holiday if you’re able.

The Plan:

On Friday 20th, we have the accommodation from 4pm, till Sunday morning- so lots of time for pre-Wedding fun, (and post wedding hangover recovery for some….). Friday will be setting up the venue and an informal meal and drinks in the accommodation block on site with guests that can make it.

On Saturday, our wedding will be quite relaxed in nature. We hope to have the ceremony outside, in the courtyard, but the evening festivities will be indoor. We have booked a Ceilidh band, (if you don’t know what a Ceilidh is, it has been accurately described as being part dance part fight - so practical shoes please, (no-one needs a stiletto in the eye!) There will also be an eclectic mix of other entertainment - more on that on the formal invites! After 11pm there will be Whisky and cheese in The Steadings accommodation.

On Sunday, on-site checkout is 10:30am, but we can stay in The Steadings till Noon.

​

Entertainments:

1. Friday: Evening meal in The Steadings (approx 7.30 pm)

2. Saturday: Ceilidh Band (Scottish Dancing - very fun, see here), Improv Comedy, SPEECHES, possibly some Circus!

3. Sunday: Possibly some local walks, waterfalls, hills, forests.

​

What is a Ceilidh?

• Danny Bhoy describes it as a half dance, half fight (here)... Which is..... pretty accurate!

• It's inclusive, (you don't have to know someone well in Scotland to throw them around!), there will be a caller for the moves, we will choose fun, simple dances suitable for all. There will be people attending that know the dances too. And.. we will let it get fast!

• Lets put it this way- you might want to sink a few before you try it, but you will get Ceildh fever fast! 

• Our band is The Scotch Bonnets here... 

• What does it look like? Some more videos here: Sir Jacksian Circle (here), The Gay Gordons (here).

Food/Drink: The important part of course is- SCRAN! (translation: 'food' for the English folk)! We wanted a more informal feel for our wedding so rather than a sit down meal we are having a wonderful 4th generation Scottish-Italian family who are setting up their lovely mobile pizza station and providing antipasti and pasta salads - these will be in a buffet. The pizzas will be made to order (90 seconds per pizza they say!) in their wood fired oven. We wanted more festival than fancy so wanted simple, hearty and delicious food. There are vegan and GF options as well and please message us with dietary requirements! 

​

We also have a pop up bar coming- there will be free welcome drinks at the reception immediately post ceremony and unlimited red and white wine during dinner (steady now though lads - there is a ceilidh to do!) and then a paid for bar after. For those who love a good night cap - after the music is off at 11pm there will be a whisky and cheese 'lock in' at the Steadings accommodation block on site to warm the cockles before sleeping it off!

Gifts: As we have been living together for a while now we don't need the typical household gifts. The important thing for us is seeing you all. However, if you would like to, we have decided that a charitable donation or a small donation to our honeymoon fund would be lovely. 

• The Anne Rowling Clinic: (

  • This is Becky's local centre where she has her MS consultant meetings. They have been very good in the past and have a number of patient facing trials as well as academic research.

• Kingussie Highland Wildlife Park: (

  • Based near Aviemore, they have an active Scottish Wild Cat breeding program. Their wolf, snow leopard and polar bear breeding programs have also been successful in recent years.

• Rhino Revolution: ()

  • Co-run by Becky's parents fiend Terry​, they have rescued a number of Rhino from poaching in South Africa.

• Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (

  • Based in South Africa, HESC​ run breeding programs and operate a conservation educational program. They have some Rhino but larger populations of cats (Cheetahs) and Wild Dogs. 

• Honeymoon Fund:

  • We plan to go back to South Africa,, the Kruger National Park, Hoedspruit and Nelspruit. ​Ed is hoping to rent some longer photography lenses and we plan to spend more time in the various national parks. Ed is still to see Leopards or Cheetah in the wild.
