As you cross the River Sark, you cross from one great nation to another. On the English side of the border, the land between here and the River Esk was referred to as 'the Debatable Land' and during the era of the border reivers was particularly lawless. Today, nearby Gretna has all manner of amenities.

Here, at Gretna Green you are greeted by a large brown sign saying "Scotland welcomes you". It marks the international border between England and Scotland.

Gretna Green looks like a fairly average village, but was world-famous for being a romantic wedding destination. It became a place for young lovers to elope after the 1754 Marriage Act made it illegal to wed under the age of 21 without parental permission in neighbouring England and Wales.
