What is a traditional Scottish Wedding?

A traditional Scottish wedding is a beautiful and romantic ceremony steeped in centuries of history and tradition. It usually begins with the bride and groom exchanging vows in a church, followed by a procession through the streets accompanied by bagpipes. The wedding reception often includes toasts, speeches, dancing and feasting on Scotch whisky and haggis. The bride and groom are often presented with a quaich, an ancient Scottish drinking vessel, as a symbol of their new life together. Traditional Scottish weddings also feature the symbolic Handfasting ceremony, where the hands of the couple are bound together to signify their union. It’s truly a magical event that will be remembered for years to come!

A Traveller’s Perspective

Scottish wedding speeches are legendary, and this clip captures exactly why. The combination of a thick accent, a razor-sharp sense of humour, and an audience full of people who have had a drink or two is pure entertainment. If you ever get invited to a Scottish wedding, accept immediately. The speeches alone are worth the trip.

Scottish weddings tend to be longer and louder than their English equivalents. The ceremony is often followed by a sit-down meal, speeches, a ceilidh (traditional Scottish dancing), and then a disco that runs until the small hours. If you are attending a ceilidh for the first time, do not sit it out — the dances are called by a band leader and everyone joins in regardless of ability. Wear comfortable shoes. You will be on your feet for hours.

The sound of a ceilidh band striking up in a marquee or village hall is one of the great sounds of Scotland. Fiddles, accordions, and a caller shouting instructions over the music. The floor bounces under the weight of a hundred people spinning and stamping. The air is warm and smells of beer and flowers. Strangers grab your hands and whirl you through moves you do not know. Everyone is laughing. Nobody cares if you get it wrong. It is joyful, chaotic, and completely irresistible.
