Scotland's ancient wedding capital is enjoying its most exciting
period since the 1753 marriage act prompted a surge of elopements to
this sleepy Dumfries and Galloway village. A shiny new 50-room hotel
opened this year opposite Gretna Green's "World-Famous Old
Blacksmith's Shop". If you can overlook that this claims to be a
four-star hotel, Smiths does its job very well. It features all the
components of trendy style-bar design (walnut veneer, living-flame
fireplaces, a brasserie that serves upmarket pub grub) and an all-
white penthouse suite with a turntable bed that spins round from the
plasma television on the wall to a decked balcony.
