Gretna Green is a parish in the southern county of Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, and is situated close on the borders of Scotland and England, defined by the small river Sark, which flows into the estuary of the western contiguous Solway Firth.
Gretna Green is a village on the Scottish border that is world famous as a romantic wedding destination. First, over the border, it became a haven for young lovers following the 1754 Marriage Act introduced in England and Wales.
It's a romantic destination.
Gretna Green's famous Blacksmiths Shop, the Old Smithy where lovers have come to marry since 1754, is still in the village and still a wedding venue. There are now several other wedding venues in Gretna Green and marriage ceremonies are still performed over a blacksmith's anvil.
Gretna Green is famous for marriages with around 5,000 couples tying the knot here and in Gretna every year. Historically it was to Gretna Green that young English runaway couples eloped so that they could be married ‘over the anvil’ from the age of 16
Under covid rules when we were there ,so very quiet ,but had a good chat with the bag pipe player ,and told us places to visit
Love this little village. Lovely place to go on a trip to and from Scotland
A kind of place i would steer away from, being a tourist curiosity with inflated prices.
Although i did not buy anything it was sunny and peaceful being out of season in January, sat in the courtyard as others taking in the winter sun. Interesting history.
Lovely place full of history quaint and friendly has all sorts of everything inside grab a really nice present

Not a place to do all your food shopping but fantastic for indulgent little treats for people who really appreciate their food.
