Weddings - Tobermory Registry Office

 
The Marriage room is situated within the County Buildings in Tobermory, on Breadalbane Street.  The marriage facility has recently been refurbished and upgraded, using what was the original magistrate's courtroom within the same building.  The new facility can comfortably accommodate up to 45 persons and has a stunning panoramic view over Tobermory Bay, Sound of Mull and the hills of Morvern and Ardnamurchan in the background.

THE REQUIREMENTS OF SCOTTISH LAW on couples who wish to be legally married in Scotland are listed below.  As an alternative to an official wedding, you may wish to have a blessing ceremony for which there are no legal constraints. 
Please note that for marriages, you will need to make contact with the local registrar - information about this is given on the official web site for the General Register Office for Scotland which is the Government department responsible for the registration of marriages in the UK. 

Any two persons may marry in Scotland provided that: 

  • Both persons are at least sixteen years of age on the day of marriage.

Documents to be produced with your completed marriage notices include:

  • Forms for giving notice can be obtained from any registrar of births, deaths and marriages in Scotland or from the General Register Office for Scotland website at http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/grosweb/grosweb.nsf/pages/home
