Getting Married in Peebles
You can be married in either of two ways in Scotland - by a religious ceremony or by a civil ceremony.
Wedding in a Church
Contact the registrar who will prepare the marriage schedule for signing. You will need to return the signed forms to the registrar after the wedding ceremony so that he can register the marriage. You can be married in either the St Peters Episcopalian Church or the Leckie Memorial Church of Scotland. Arrangements can also be made for weddings at St.Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.
