An adventurous couple have become the first people to wed on a remote, uninhabited Scottish island.

Their wedding on Ailsa Craig, off the South Ayrshire coast, was planned in just four weeks.

Jim Lindop and partner Angela, who have been together for 20 years, decided they wanted to do "something a bit different" for the big day.

The couple from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, had to get special permission from the Marquess of Ailsa to hold their dream wedding.

It was the first official wedding to have taken place on the island, which was organised along with Glenapp Castle.

Jim said: "It took a little persuasion getting the Marquess of Ailsa, the local registrar and Glenapp Castle to head up Ailsa Craig in mid-winter and with four weeks notice. But they admirably rose to the occasion."

Bride Angela wore a pair of sturdy hiking boots and a new lime-green jacket, while the groom was kitted out in ski-wear.

The pair were joined by Roddy Leitch, former Girvan harbourmaster and John Orr, general manager of the castle.

Angela, a retired teaching assistant, said: "We have always said we want to get married but it's just something we have never got around to doing.

"We wanted something a bit different, and we are outdoors, adventurous people.

"It was wonderful and magical, the weather was just perfect and the island is so beautiful."

Ailsa Craig is home to one of the largest gannet colonies in the world, with thousands of breeding pairs.
