More than 1,300 same-sex marriages have taken place in Dumfries and Galloway since the law was changed a decade ago.
It’s proven one of the most popular areas for same-sex couples to tie the knot since it was made legal in 2014 – thanks to the pull of Scotland’s marriage mecca Gretna Green.
The first same-sex ceremonies took place in December 2024 and since then 10,138 couples across Scotland have gone on to marry.
Dumfries and Galloway has hosted 1,379 ceremonies – the third highest figure among Scotland’s council areas, behind only Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Registrar General Alison Byrne, who is chief executive of National Records of Scotland, said: “I’m delighted to send congratulations to the couples who are shortly to celebrate their 10th anniversaries having been among the first to marry under the new law.
