Old photograph of the Toll House in Gretna Green, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. John Murray was the first tollkeeper. The Toll House is much closer to the border than Gretna Green, and with a direct road here it became a well known place to elope too, and over 10,000 weddings have been held here, and you can even still do that today. Gretna Green is one of the world's most popular wedding destinations. Since 1929 both parties in Scotland have had to be at least 16 years old, but they still may marry without parental consent.
