Charlotte and Lee Tie The Knot

November 11, 2022

Each wedding has its own unique story. A story as unique as the couple tying the knot. Charlotte and Lee shared theirs with us. We’re in awe of their magical day at Brig o’ Doon House Hotel, and with Lee’s first ever kilt, crafted from Highland Granite tartan. When deciding what to wear, Charlotte, a Scottish bride, and Lee, an English groom, felt a kilt outfit was appropriate for their big day. “He was very excited to wear his first kilt and what better an occasion that your own wedding day.” While researching suppliers, the two came across our website....

The handfasting ceremony would validify the couple's commitment to each other for a year and one day, after which they would then decide if they want to continue the relationship and get married or go their own ways. The handfasting ceremony would also be seen as a public declaration that both parties were officially ‘off the market’ and rival suitors should back off.

Instantly recognisable all over the world, the kilt has become an important element of Scottish identity. Known not only for its undeniable Scottishness but also the expert craftsmanship that goes into creating one.
