Property for sale in Gretna
The village of Gretna - the gateway to Scotland - is an interesting example of 20th Century town planning, built to house munition workers during the First World War. Spaciously laid out, with a large green, the houses, in a simple neo-Georgian style, are symmetrically arranged. Nearby is Gretna Green, which is separated from Gretna by the dual carriageway (A75) and by a few hundred yards of open fields. Gretna Green is world-famous for weddings. For over two centuries, this little village was the by-word for elopement. Gretna Green's Old Blacksmith's Shop Centre is Scotland's fourth most popular visitor attraction. Gretna's football club has become increasingly popular in recent years, through its successes on the field and also for its involvement with the local community. The types of houses for sale in Gretna are predominantly a mixture of modern family homes and Victorian terraced cottages.
