Gretna Green became famous for runaway marriages when “irregular” marriages were banned by law in England in 1753. Couples were able to run to Scotland and become legally married by proclamation in front of two witnesses. The Gretna Green tartan reflects the twin influences of this history and the powerful border clan Johnstone, so influential in this area of Dumfriesshire.
