Brass Hanging Horseshoe

Steeped in the history of Gretna Green, this brass horseshoe pays tribute to the famous Blacksmiths Shop and the ‘anvil priests’ who became synonymous with runaway marriages. Following the 1754 Marriage Act, couples fleeing England would cross the Scottish border to marry, with local blacksmiths becoming famous for conducting ceremonies over the anvil. The horseshoe celebrates this unique blacksmithing heritage, while its traditional tartan ribbon adds a distinctly Scottish touch. Finished with a Gretna Green stamp, it makes a meaningful keepsake celebrating the romance, rebellion and enduring traditions of this iconic destination.
