Lights, Cameras.....Filming at Gretna Green!
Posted by Ami Brough - May 29, 2015
How exciting! We had a well-known historian visit us last week....
Dr Lucy Worlsey paid the Famous Blacksmiths Shop a wee visit last week with her film crew as they put together a new series! Although we don't know exactly what the series will feature, we have heard that it is connected with our fascination with romance...looking into the history of romance through the ages. What better setting that to shoot a segment right here in Gretna Green!
The team spent most of a morning filming segments throughout our famous black and white building....from original documents to our famous Anvil and, of course, the carriages!
Not many details have been released about the new series just yet....but we can't wait for it to air! Very excited to catch a glimpse of the carriages and rooms of Gretna Green Famous Blacksmiths Shop on the television once again! Perhaps that scene about the carriage chase will make the cut.....
Were you visiting that day? Have the chance to meet Dr Lucy Worsley? We'd love to hear your stories (and see any photos too!)....share with us here, on Twitter or on our Facebook page!
