Gretna Green
As we headed back home we stopped at Gretna Green for a look at the place where people used to run away to get married in. Since Scottish marriage laws were a lot less strict than English laws lots of young couples would elope to the first village over the Scottish border, Gretna Green, and get married at the Iron Mongers. |
On the 22nd of May 1915 a three train crash occurred near Gretna which claimed the lives of over 200 soldiers. |
A Heelin Coo. |
