Gretna BUT NOT THAT blacksmiths';RESOLVED
« on: Monday 17 November 14 18:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi.

A question for local historians to Gretna.  I was looking at a baptism for 1841 at Gretna and the address is Rigg.  The OS map shows me it is to the west of THE blacksmith's.  I was wondering if anyone knows if there was a blacksmith or forge at Rigg in the early 1800's?

Thanks.
