History & Atmosphere in Gretna Green
At the heart of Gretna Green you discover tales of romance, scandal and intrigue as the story of Gretna Green is brought to life in the Gretna Green Story Exhibition and Coach Museum.
Gretna Green is fondly recognised worldwide as a significant Scottish landmark. Set on the border with England it has played an important role in Scottish culture for well over two centuries.
Since its inception as a visitor attraction in 1886, the World Famous Blacksmiths Shop has developed into a quality Scottish visitor destination in keeping with its legacy and its location on Scotland's border.
It is a truly Scottish experience and the magic of Gretna Green radiates from the quaint building of the Blacksmiths Shop while the surrounding natural landscape adds to the romanticism of the area.
"Steeped in history and magical charm, the ancient building of the Blacksmiths Shop draws you in to its romantic and often dramatic past."
