] I think that Scottish law required only that a couple publicly declared themselves married, or acted as though married, to be in fact legally married.]
In order to legally marry they had to have a marriage contract signed before witnesses. Which means that they did require a written form of contract and acting as though married would not have been enough. They did not have any age requirements as England did, however.
