UM.Xfm -"a book ihop which debunks the blacksmith myth the whole :hing surely takes the haggis. ACCORDING TO THE AUTH- r of this book, a very learned rntleman named Claverhou.se, i,. hi (,io, kokij i " u. a- vay marriages at Gretna (orig- nally called Graitneyt was a .ioax anyway. Undir Scittish law, a man and oman could carry with complete legality with no more for-nality than to make a public leclaratton that they were wed. The wedding was binding, and iully lawful, even if there wvre 10 witnesses provided, if chal lenged, the principals could prove they had made the declaration. APPARENTLY THE MYTH about the marrying blacksmith, or blacksmiths, just north of the Scottish border came from a mu.'ical play in London (not Scotland) in 1783. It was called "Gretna Green," was written by a Mr. Stuart and was a smash j hit in the Haymarket Theatre. A newspaper report on the play slates: "Thi piece opens with a view of the farrier's shop, who is not only doctor of horses, doctor of physics, doctor of divinity, etc., but also the hymeneal god himself:" But ln famous court cases, involving spurious self-styled "priests" who did most of the i Gretna Green marrying, Lon-! don big-shot lawyers persisted i in referring to the marryers as !"Mr. Blacksmith." The myth grew stronger and stronger. Fin-: ally, no professional marryer in Gretna could hope for much marrying business unless he displayed a sign showing a black-mith forging the matrimonial bonds. i OVER THE CENTURIES there were thousands of runa- I 'Jo Rt5vt "T CONGRATULATES Wife ' i(fttcnttl - Canada's Newest Industry t ft s' E I y i !
