About Gretna Green

Gretna Green sits just over the Scottish border on the A74(M), famous as the runaway marriage capital where English couples fled to wed under Scotland's liberal laws. The M74 provides direct access from Glasgow and Edinburgh, whilst the village serves as a natural stopping point for cross-border journeys. With over 40 EV charging points nearby, it's well-equipped for modern travellers. The original blacksmith's anvil where thousands of couples married still takes bookings today.
