Gretna Greens Famous Blacksmiths Shop
Drive around the centre, passing the picturesque Sculpture Garden, which is surrounded by quaint shopping features and you arrive at the car park, which is flanked by rolling fields, with Highland and Belted Galloway cattle grazing nearby.
Near to the car park there are two children's play areas, perfect for young people to let off steam after the journey.
The Gretna Green Story Exhibition has been devised to enable visitors to spend as much time as they like going round the various exhibits.

As soon as you step inside the blacksmiths cottage, in which the main exhibition is housed you will be captivated by the atmosphere. The background sounds of the frantic young lovers making their dash to Gretna Green (250 years ago!) immediately brings this ancient building to life. A 20-minute visit will make you feel you have absorbed a part of this atmosphere and become, yourself, a part of its history. You will have time to see the characters and hear the part they played in Gretna Green's past and you may have listened to the story of Gretna Green on the 'story phones'. A longer stay will enable you to read the information panels which give a more in depth account of the many recorded romances and scandals, the various law changes and the effect Gretna Green's notoriety had on the community.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Gretna Greens Famous Blacksmiths Shop, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
