The Gretna Green Lovers in the sculpture garden at Gretna Green, Scotland
Gretna Green is a village in the south of Scotland famous for runaway weddings. It is in Dumfries and Galloway, near the mouth of the River Esk and was historically the first village in Scotland, following the old coaching route from London to Edinburgh. Although a tourist destination, it is still a popular venue for weddings which usually take place in the old Blacksmith's Shop. The Sculpture Garden was opened by Britt Ekland in 1994 where there are a collection of sculptures created by local, national and international artists.
