Walking in Dumfries and Galloway
Hi All
I have just returned from the said region on a weeks walking with my father. I thought I would share some pics of this picturesque part of scotland. I spent 6 days though alas I wore my kilt on only the first one, though I had an excellent comment from a passing lass on a camping trip. The walks were good but there could have been better. The area has fantastic bird reserves, and we saw some red kites which were reintroduced to the area in 2002.
The first walk took in some sculptures (mainly Henry Moore) based around loch Ken




Second Day,This was a fantastic abbey called Sweetheart abbey,south of Dumfries, I believe Mary Queen of Scots stayed here.

Third Day, a walk along the coast near kipford.

Carsluith Castle, the place had quite a history the past inhabitants causing a great deal of quarrel.

fourth day,this was taken between Newton Stewart and Dalry, most of the trees in this heavily forested area are pine for felling.

fifth day, this is Wigtown, called the book capital of Scotland, it had a good selection of secondhand bookshops.

cheers
