The number of marriages in Scotland fell by almost 3,000 last year, according to provisional statistics released from the National Records of Scotland.
The fall of around 10% brings the annual total of marriages in 2013 to just above 2009 levels – which were the lowest recorded in more than a century.
In 2013, there were 27,547 marriages registered in the country.
The fall in the annual total comes on the back of three consecutive rises. In 2009, the figure was 27,524 with a peak of 30,534 in 2012.
Dumfries and Galloway is the council area with the greatest number of marriages – more than 4,000 – with Gretna Green playing a role.
Elsewhere, there were 530 civil partnerships – 216 male and 314 female – recorded, 44 less than during 2012.
