The Ceremony — St Michael's Parish Church, Linlithgow

Our ceremony takes place at St Michael's Parish Church, Kirkgate, Linlithgow EH49 7AL — one of Scotland's finest medieval churches, consecrated in 1242 and favoured by generations of Scottish monarchs. It stands beside the magnificent ruins of Linlithgow Palace, birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots, overlooking Linlithgow Loch.

If you're arriving early, we'd encourage you to take a look around the church and palace grounds. You may also want to stop for a drink at The Four Marys on the High Street or Platform 3 by the station — both are within five minutes' walk of the church.

By train: Linlithgow is a short direct journey from Edinburgh — approximately 20 minutes from Waverley or Haymarket stations, with trains running every 20 minutes. St Michael's Parish Church is a 5-minute walk from Linlithgow station along the High Street.

By taxi from Edinburgh: The journey takes around 30 minutes. We recommend pre-booking, especially on a Saturday.

Pre-booking is strongly recommended, especially on a Saturday.

After the Ceremony

A coach will be provided to take guests from St Michael's Parish Church to The Signet Library in Edinburgh following the ceremony. You do not need to arrange your own transport for this journey.

Friday Night — The Night Before

For those arriving in Edinburgh on the Friday, we'll be arranging an informal get-together on Friday evening so you can catch up with old friends and meet new ones before the big day. Details to follow — watch this space!
