Karen Gillan marries American boyfriend in closely guarded ceremony at castle in Argyll

Avengers star Karen Gillan has wed her American boyfriend in a closely guarded ceremony at a castle in Argyll.

The Inverness-born star tied the knot this afternoon with American comedian Nick Kocher, 36, after jetting back to Scotland for her nuptials.

Some of the A-list guests at the wedding in Castle Toward in Dunoon included fellow action star Robert Downey Jnr and Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts, who were spotted in the town earlier today.

Steven Moffat, who was executive producer of Doctor Who when Karen was Matt Smith's Tardis companion, was also a guest for her big day.

The 34-year-old, who had kept her engagement to the Saturday Night Live scriptwriter a secret, had chartered a yacht, The Spirit of Fortitude, to take family and friends to the 3.30pm ceremony.

One local said: “We had seen the yacht moored up but it was only when someone said Julia Roberts had been seen having breakfast in the Rock Cafe in Dunoon and Robert Downey Jr had been spotted going into a shop that we realised there was a celebrity wedding happening.”

Hollywood action star Karen started dating Emmy-award winning screenwriter Nick, from Atlanta, Georgia two years ago.

The pair are believed to live together at her home in Los Angeles and have been seen together on low key trips to London and Berlin.

The actress, whose parents Raymond and Marie from Inverness moved to the US to be nearer their only child, is starring in Thor: Love and Thunder which will be released in July.

The Royal Scottish Shipping Line, who own the Spirit of Fortitude yacht, refused to provide the Sunday Mail with a comment.
