Tasty treats
Gretna Green is home to one of Scotland’s most popular tourist destinations and the country’s largest family owned visitor attraction - The World Famous Old Blacksmith’s Shop Centre. If your group enjoys the taste of fine quality foods then a trip to their foodhall is a must. The range of unusual local and Scottish food has tempted the taste buds of those visiting to either treat themselves, or buy gifts for family and friends back home. You’ll also find regular food tasting events and cookery demonstrations, and an expanded whisky experience. New displays and features within the Blacksmith’s Shop have developed whisky storytelling and visitors can now sample the rarest of malt whiskies. A special whisky demonstration has also been introduced for groups. To find out more about what Gretna Green has to offer, you can contact them on the details below.
