The World Famous Old Blacksmith's Shop Exhibition - one of the world's most photographed buildings - is the original Gretna Green wedding venue and lies at the heart of the Visitor Centre.

Explore some of Gretna Green's juiciest stories of romance, intrigue and scandal. Examine the lives of the colourful Anvil Priests who performed the marriages. Discover the vagaries of the British legal system which elucidate why Gretna Green became a wedding destination.

Visit the blacksmith's workshop where blacksmiths forged a bond between couples over the anvil! Today, couples still marry or rekindle their vows over the anvil, and tour parties visiting Gretna Green enjoy a hilarious recreation of an anvil wedding ceremony.
