*Please note Claire Digance and Linda Britton will be speaking on Saturday 8th October, and David Smith will be speaking on Sunday 9th October.

Claire Digance (aka Claire the Humanist) is younger than Chuck Norris, older than Kendall Jenner but the same height as both. She specialises in creating ceremonies filled with love, energy and extraordinary storytelling delivered with warmth, humour and a smattering of sarcasm and stupidity.

Linda Britton has been a celebrant with HSS for a long time, since 2005. She loves what she does and that comes across in the ceremonies she conducts. She enjoys meeting people, helping them plan their wedding ceremony, ensuring it reflects their personalities and seeing their happy, smiling faces on the day….

After 15 years as a wedding planner, David Smith trained with Humanist Society Scotland in 2017 to become one of its network of celebrants across Scotland creating truly personal ceremonies.
