Weddings at Crichton

Located in the Midlothian countryside around 30 minutes from Edinburgh, Crichton Church is a beautiful and unusual setting for a Christian wedding.

The A-Listed building dates from 1449 and has recently undergone major restoration, including a full restoration of the stained glass windows and J Brook & Co organ.  The acoustics of the church are well-known and have been appreciated by many visitors, orchestras and composers.
