Wedding guests outside The Old Blacksmith's Shop in 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.
