The Wee Kirk O’ the Heather was built in 1925 as a residence in Las Vegas. In 1940, the home was transformed into a wedding chapel, and it was the second wedding chapel to open in Las Vegas. By the early 1950s, nearly 20,000 people were getting married in the chapel. After more than 65 years, the chapel is still a popular place for people to wed.
