A small village in Dumfries and Galloway, southern Scotland, UK. It is located near the border with England, near the west coast. Since marriage laws in Scotland were not as strict as those in England, it became popular from around the 1770s for English couples to elope and cross the border to marry in this village. However, in 1856 the laws were revised in Scotland, making the conditions stricter, and this custom fell out of use. [Shigeru Koike] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
イギリス,スコットランド南部のダンフリース・アンド・ギャロウェー州にある小村。西海岸寄り,イングランドとの境界線の近くに位置する。スコットランドの結婚に関する法律が,イングランドほど厳しくなかったため,イングランドの男女が駆落をし,境を越えてこの村で結婚することが1770年代ころから流行した。しかし1856年にスコットランドで法改正が行われて条件が厳しくなり,この習慣はすたれた。【小池 滋】
