Even getting there was a bit of an adventure, with me and Matt driving underneath the castle through the ‘military’ tunnel and parking right between two of the castle’s big canons – who said parking in Edinburgh was difficult?

The lovely bride Claire and her father were escorted into the chapel by a piper – which seemed to conjour up a few dozen more tourists. All part of getting married in Edinburgh!

After the ceremony, we took our time taking photographs outside the chapel near Mons Meg – an absolutely huge canon looking out over Edinburgh City – and then in several scenic spots around the grounds as we headed towards the Great Hall. The hall was not available for us to photograph in, but we were guided along by the very helpful Sandra to a room in the Royal Residence with a grand fireplace. Although the fire wasn’t real, the warmth inside was very welcome.

Having taken our shots inside with some more passing tourists for company, we finished off our Edinburgh Castle wedding with some photographs next to the canons before heading for the reception venue at Howie’s Restaurant in Waterloo Place.
