Gretna Green is most famous for weddings, following the 1754 Marriage act, which prevented couples under the age of 21 marrying in England or Wales without their parents' consent. As it was still legal in Scotland to marry without such consent, couples began crossing the border in to Scotland. Gretna Green is a parish in the southern coucil area of dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, and situated on the Scottish side of the borders of Scotland and England, defined by the small river Sark, which flows into the estuary of the western contiguous Solway Firth.
