Gretna Green, Scotland




Gretna Green is the first village in the south of Scotland over the border from England and is very popular as a place to be married.  Historically, if someone in England wanted to get married without their parents consent, they crossed the border into Scotland and were married there where the rules weren't as strict.

The village is beautiful and is a lovely setting to be married in.
