The closest airport is Edinburgh Airport (EDI).

For those participating in the Hen and Stag parties, a coach will take you from from Melville to Borthwick. If you are not staying at Borthwick Castle, let us know where you are, and we will arrange transport to get you to and from the castle. On May 23, we will take a coach from Borthwick Castle back to Edinburgh. For other travel, we recommend the buses and trams (you can use tap to pay!) or taxis (book using the City Cabs-Edinburgh app)

Borthwick can support a limited number of overnight guests, and we will prioritize family and the wedding party for these. There are three 1br1ba AirBnBs near the castle we can help you book, just reach out to us for links. If there is absolutely no room, we can help you arrange transportation to and from the castle and Edinburgh city center, depending on numbers.

If you are one of our general guests, you may join us for drinks and dinner at May 21 at Borthwick Castle at 6:30PM, and for the wedding day at 3:30 PM. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time. You will be able to rest in the Stateroom before being ushered to your seat. Once the ceremony begins, no entrance will be granted.

If your invitation says "and Guest," then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you. We need to lock in our menus and headcounts six weeks ahead so let us know if you would like to bring anyone else.

There will be themes of blood, death, and darkness. Wine will flow and ghosts will walk the halls. We want all guests and vendors to feel safe during the event. It's up to you, as long as the child is supervised at all times, and can be quiet and respectful when necessary.

Scotland in May can be cold to mild. Expect rain, it's Scotland! Luckily, most activities will be indoors. Bring rain-appropriate gear just in case!

We are figuring out the details of what we will cover for you! For those who don't drink alcohol, we highly recommend to try the Irn Bru, which is like a better, Scottier, Fanta. There are also 0% beers, Fever Tree beverages, and Coca Cola! Wedding Dinner will include Italian wines, a callback to our engagement! 😍 Any additional drinks can be placed on a room tab or paid with card (they are cashless). If ye knock yer ‘ead on the doors, ye buy us a drink!

Honestly, we would really prefer if you donated to our honeymoon fund :)

Please do not record videos, take photos, or take live calls during the ceremony. We want you all present with us in the moment. We have professional photographers and videographers that will capture the ceremony for us. Other than at the ceremony, feel free to take pictures and videos, as long as you do not interfere with our vendors' work.

If we do not receive your RSVP by the deadline of March 1st, 2027, you will be automatically marked as "no". We will miss celebrating with you, but it is imperative we provide our vendors with a final guest count to ensure space, food, and safety. Thank you for understanding!
