f you’re in any way romantically inclined you should probably take a visit to the famous Gretna Green Blacksmiths Shop on the Scottish border near the Solway Firth (which you can read about in my Complete Guide to the Solway Firth). This attraction has been drawing young lovers to its blacksmith’s workshop for nearly three hundred years and continues to do so to this very day. Thankfully the days of wayward teens being chased cross-country by enraged fathers are long gone and the blacksmith’s shop is now a converted museum that features displays that tell the story of why so many teenagers were drawn to the place to get married.
