Sandra Cobain – Registrar for Bute
Based in – Rothesay
Started in Registration – July 2009
‘I have worked in Registration for 12 years, it was a complete change for me having worked for the council for the previous 20 years in Housing and Council Tax benefits. I love every aspect of my job from the joy of registering a new baby, to my ceremonies all over the island and beyond, even having married some friends and family members, to being able to help people in their darkest moments when they are registering the death of a loved one. I really enjoy helping couples make their day special whether it is helping them choose a Quaich or candles or having a sand ceremony to bring two families together, it is their day, their way as we say. I have been involved in a ‘cloaking ceremony’ for a Game of Thrones themed wedding. I think I am the only person on the planet not to have watched it so my son helped me with my research!!’
