Kara and Pall Thormod Morrisson are celebrants based in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital. They conduct legal wedding ceremonies in Edinburgh and the Lothians, Fife, Glasgow City and the north Scottish Borders of Peebleshire. They are approved members of the Pagan Federation (Scotland)'s celebrancy register and Kara is registered as a legal celebrant with the General Register Office for Scotland.

Their backgrounds are similar in that they have both had a long spiritual link with the land.

Kara has been a Celtic traditional priestess for over 20 years and also has a deep interest in other native European traditions, including the Celtic, Norse and Greek traditions. She is a qualified medical herbalist who graduated from Edinburgh Napier University with a BSc Hons (1st Class) degree in Herbal Medicine in June 2010.

Pall has also been a Goši (or Norse Scottish tradition lay priest) for over 20 years. The Morrisons, his clan, were the hereditary brieves or lawmen to the Lords of the Isles. The office of breitheamh (or brieve) covered all legal matters, including handfasting. He has studied the Celtic and Norse traditions as well as Taoism and Japanese Zen and is a runic scholar and also a woodcarver. His woodcraft reflects his fascination with ancient mythology and features sculptures of the Nordic and Celtic gods and heroes.

Together they can create a personalised ceremony to suit you, taking in your ideas, providing their own and giving advice along the way. Your wedding ceremony can be designed to reflect your own spiritual path or it may be a traditional Celtic Highland style handfasting or Nature-based ceremony - each providing a fresh alternative to church or registrar weddings. Whatever your choice of ceremony style, they are here to help make your wedding day special and memorable.
