A girlfriend of mine at St Andrews University lived in Lochmaben which is only a few miles from Dumfries and we spent a couple of weekends there with her parents, Naturally I was taken to see Dumfries and memories have been flooding back seeing the various pictures that folk have been sharing.
I remember going to Burns' House and also the Camera Obscura (there are others in Aberystwyth, Edinburgh and Bristol also) and thinking what a contrast the red sandstone buildings made compared with many other parts of Scotland's architecture.
Of course another trip is now necessary, not only to refresh my memory but also to see Robertson and Ferintosh and join in some kilted activities!
