The Gretna Green Experience

For 270 years, young couples have eloped "over the border" from England into Scotland where they could marry without parental consent. Gretna Green is a lovely little Scottish village that sits just across the English border where many marriages were performed by the local Smithy. On this tour you can enjoy a traditional hand fasting ceremony over the iconic smithy anvil. Not a legal marriage but a symbol of enduring love. This is a beautiful way to celebrate an anniversary or just to reaffirm your love for that special person. The experience includes a museum, a lover maze and the love wall where you can attach a symbol of your enduring love. There is also a place to shop for gifts and souvenirs and sit down for a fresh traditional lunch.
