The Queens Head is a small single-room village pub. Although slightly off the beaten track, it is actually little more than a stone's throw from Gretna, wedding capital of the country. In fact, the pub had its own 'Priest' in bygone days to conduct marriages at Gretna.

An historical marker on the pub reads:

"The Queen’s Head has enjoyed a long and interesting past. Its outward appearance has changed little over the years - the building still looks much as it did 200 years ago. The Gretna Green area has long been famous for ‘runaway weddings’ and the Queens Head is a part of that history. In the 18th century Gretna Green was little more than a few cottages, a small number of farms and a church. The Maxwell Arms and the Queens Head, known as the Marriage House, were the first two hostelries over the border and were the venues for many of the early weddings."
