		At Gretna, Thomas, Lord Erskine (17501823), Lord High Chancellor of England, wedded, late in life, his second spouse, Miss Buck ; and here too in 1826 were married Edward Gibbon Wakefield and Ellen Turner-a marriage that next year brought the bridegroom and his brother three years' imprisonment for abduction, after a celebrated trial at Lancaster.
		The entire parish, lying as it did on the frontier of Scotland, contiguous to the Debatable Lands between the Sark and the Esk, was long the scene of almost incessant forays ; and it continued, down to the latter part of last century, to be the retreat of numerous bands of desperate and incorrigible smugglers.
		Gretna is in the presbytery of Annan and synod of Dumfries ; the living is worth £371.
