Gretna is renowned throughout the world as a perfect marriage location. Since 1754, countless couples have "eloped" to the border town. The English Marriage Act stated that if either party was under 21 years of age, then they could not marry without parental consent. However, this didn't apply in Scotland - where individuals could marry at 16 without parental involvement. Resultantly, many young couples travelled to Scotland to wed - a tradition that has lasted many years.
