An Exploration of Scottish Wedding Customs

This book examines the ancient wedding customs of Scotland and the meanings and purpose of the traditions which have been inherited.

Recommended for anybody wishing to find ideas for a traditional Scottish Wedding - it covers 'coortin' (courting), preparation for the wedding, the Wedding ceremony and food as well as including some old practices such as 'the beddan' (the honeymoon night) - a practice perhaps not to be followed today!, 'the Kirkin' and 'Creelin'.

There is an excellent section on traditional wedding dances with music scores provided.
