Question
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
Answer
For the big day, on Saturday 12 September, the dress code is formal including kilts, tartan trousers, dress or cocktail dress, suit and tie. Important to Note: The ceremony is in a half ruined 15th Century Gothic Church which can be cold even on a warm day. Also Scotland's weather can be unpredictable in late summer; so please make sure you dress for the weather and wear a coat for the ceremony. There will be a few blankets available for those who suffer from the cold.
