| Why
Gretna ? |
| Conferences, meetings, and events just across the border will appreciate the heritage of Gretna and Gretna Green for clandestine marriages (elopers since the 18th century could marry under Scots law), and its reputation today for romantic breaks, craft traditions and speciality Scottish shopping. Venues include smart and characterful hotels in and close to Gretna, plus smaller properties, as well as culture/heritage settings.
Proximity to the beautiful scenery of the Dumfriesshire countryside, to the birdlife of the Solway Firth, to Carlisle and historic Dumfries (it was here that Burns wrote ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and he is buried in St. Michael’s churchyard), and to the 14th century Caerlaverock Castle, are further plus points. Conference delegates can reach Gretna easily using the M6/A74(M), by train, and using flights into the airports at Newcastle or Glasgow (and Prestwick).
In conclusion: an ideal meetings destination for ‘reward’ events that involve couples (say, during a weekend), Gretna is a niche experience, that embraces Scottishness with a welcoming twinkle in the eye. |
