Event Information
Timings
The Monument is open to the public every day as a visitor attraction, and is therefore only available for weddings and special events outside the normal Opening Times.
Capacity
The recommended maximum number of guests (including organisers and/or hosts) is 40. Organisers should be aware that there is normally no seating provided for guests within the Monument.
Weddings
The Monument is a fantastic location for engagements and intimate wedding ceremonies. Both religious and civil wedding ceremonies can take place inside the tower.
Most weddings take place in The Hall of Heroes which is on the second floor of the Monument. This room is home to the busts of 18 Scottish Heroes and Heroines including King Robert the Bruce and Robert Burns. Wedding ceremonies can also take place in The Hall of Arms, outside on The Crown (at the top of the Monument) or on The Terrace (the paved area immediately outside the main entrance to the Monument), if the weather is suitable.
Cost
Costs can vary depending on the event. To receive an estimate, please complete the Venue Hire Enquiry Form. If you would like to speak to a member of the Monument team directly, please call (01786) 472 140.
Access
Each level of the Monument is accessed by a narrow spiral staircase with 246 steps to the top, and this must be kept in mind when planning your event, to ensure that it is suitable for all guests attending.
Parking
The entrance to the main Car Park for the Monument is on Hillfoots Road. Parking is free. From this point a courtesy shuttle bus service is provided to transfer guests to the Monument. Guests can also choose to walk from the Car Park to the Monument, although the pathway is steep in places.
