Gretna Green (Scotland) Reviews
Newest Review: ... only took about 2 hours to get there and it was an easy drive. I organised the wedding myself and booked everything after receiving a couple of brochures. We stayed in a nice small hotel where everyone was really friendly and welcoming. We were to be married at The Anvil Hall, which is one of a couple of places you can get married. There is also the famous Blacksmiths Shop and other larger hotels that will let you marry there. The Anvil Hall was such a beautiful place inside and out, I was amazed at how loverly it was when I first walked in. We had two witnesses who had been arranged for us and we had all of our photo's taken outside t... more

When my then boyfriend proposed to me back in 2006 I wanted to get married straight away. We had already been together nearly 5 years and had a 1 year old son, I was not bothered about a big wedding costing thousands of pounds I just wanted to get married. After much thought I decided that Gretna Green would be the ideal place and leaving our son with my parents we went and got married in Gretna Green, just the two of us. Gretna Green is a village in Annandale and Eskdale district in the Dunfries and Galloway. It is just above the border between England and Scotland and it is easy to get to.

Gretna Green is a town just over the English border. It is a small town and has a certain charm about it. Famous for its Blacksmith shop where years ago couples used to elope to get married at the age of sixteen without the consent of their parents. You can still get married at the famous blacksmith shop today if you book well in advance. I was there last year and saw a wedding with all the trimmings and a Scottish Piper giving his all for the guests, it was quite nice to see. You can tour the Blacksmith Shop for £2.00 per adult and half price for children. It is worth the entry fee because there are quite a few old carriages and anvils that are very ...

Dumfries and Galloway is where you'll find the legendary Gretna Green. This small town, just across the border between England and Scotland became famous for runaway marriages. When the marriage laws in England and Scotland were different, couples could marry in Scotland at the age of sixteen without parental consent. Gretna Green became synonymous with elopements and young marriages. There isn't actually much at Gretna except for the Blacksmith's shop and Tartan Centre which are set in a complex geared to visitors. The whole object, of course, is to part you from your money. There is also a fairly new shopping complex just outside ... Read the complete review
