Autumn. Beautiful colours, crisp clear days.......and chilly temperatures! All have arrived at Gretna Green! Perfect time to start digging those jumpers, coats, scarves and more out of the back of your wardrobe!

Does your autumnal/winter wardrobe need a little refreshing? We've gone through some of our #fallfavourites - cosy lambswool and cashmere jumpers, stylish trendy Barbour coats and more - all new in too!

It may be hard to believe but Christmas is only just over 3 months away......where has time gone?!?

Regardless of whether you're a fan (we've all spotted them eagerly awaiting the first decorations in shops!) or dreading the crush of crowds, it's getting to be time to tackle that Christmas shopping....or at least, the wish list!

Flowers, wedding cars, carriages, pipers........we're well-and-truly into wedding season here at Gretna Green Famous Blacksmiths Shop and with that comes.....Anniversary Season!

Whether you're celebrating your first anniversary (the traditional gift for which is paper....or a pansy if you prefer flowers) or your twentieth (china....or day lilies), finding that perfect, unique anniversary gift with meaning can be, well, challenging!

Watched any of the Commonwealth Games? Noticed the gift given alongside the medals ....wondered what it was? It's a QUAICH!

Instead of flowers at Glasgow2014, Quaichs have been presented to the medallists as a nod to both Scottish and Games tradition!

The Commonwealth Games were opened with a surprise 'visit' by John Barrowman.....and a certain much-talked-about gay marriage kiss!

Quick - where were you when you heard about Cheryl Cole's secret wedding earlier this week? Here at Gretna Green Famous Blacksmiths Shop it was when the phones were beginning to ring off the hook Monday morning!

Have you been to Smiths hotel to try Afternoon Tea? This scrumptious offering of tea, coffee, finger sandwiches, macaroons, banana bread, chocolate and more has been flying out the doors since it was added to the Smiths menu earlier this year...

This exciting venture has grown and we're thrilled to be able to share the latest development in this culinary tale...

Have you heard....our famous Anvil will be receiving a very special makeover to celebrate soon-to-be- same-sex marriage in Scotland!
