WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE IN SCOTLAND IN JUNE?

June in Scotland is beautiful but can be a bit chilly! On average, temperatures range from 50°F to 65°F (10°C to 18°C) during the day, and dip to 45°F to 48°F (7°C to 9°C) at night. While it's often sunny, there can be occasional rain showers, so we recommend bringing a light jacket and an umbrella just in case. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors (weather permitting), while dinner and dancing will take place indoors. The sun sets around 10:30 pm, so outdoor celebrations may continue into the evening. Please dress accordingly and layer up for warmth and comfort!

WHAT IS THE ATTIRE?

The dress code is cocktail attire! For women, this means cocktail dresses or more formal options. For men, a suit and tie, slacks with a button-down and blazer, or even a kilt! If you'd like to join the kilt crew, be sure to select 'Accept' when completing your RSVP to reserve one with the group.
