Our history began, however, in 1754, when runaway couples, seeking marriage outside of the restrictions of England and Wales, began converging on Gretna Green; the first stop in Scotland. Young couples would be met at the crossroads, beside the Famous Blacksmiths Shop by the ‘Blacksmiths Priest’ - the local blacksmith who conducted marriage ceremonies over the now world-famous marriage anvil in his small shop, with the Blacksmiths' wife and sympathetic locals standing as witnesses.
