Great travel brochure. The tourism board should be paying you. I'll have to start posting some pics of ancient AZ ruins just to improve tourism here. O'Neille
How lovely that on your way home from work you can take a little detour and go sightseeing. On my way home from work, if I take a detour, I had better duck for cover*.
Nice pics; thanks for posting them.

At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
Dumfries to Hawick via Lockerbie & Langholm = 53 miles; Hawick to Cleikimin via A698 = 10 miles; Cleikimin to St. Boswells on A68 = 8 miles; turn right at St. Boswells Village Green onto the B6404. After 2 miles is the turn off for Dryburgh Abbey; then its about another 2 miles to the turn off onto the narrow road up to Smailholm Tower, so about 75 miles from Dumfries; easily possible for a day out from Ferintosh and can be combined with a visit to Dryburgh Abbey.
Beautiful pics. We used to drive past Smailholm Tower often on our way to visit my grandparents.
Dryburgh Abbey is worth a visit too. I was at a wedding there last year; I may just have some kilted wedding pics somewhere.
Wonderful! I am really enjoying these pictures of the historical sights. History is a big interest of mine, and this sort of thing really makes me want to visit!
