A week in Dumfries and Galloway, in SW Scotland. We stayed in a farm cottage in Colvend, on the coast between Dumfries and Kirkcalbright. The weather was much better than forecast and we managed lots of walking but not much swimming. Actually, Lucy did all the swimming.
“Rushcroft”, Colvend.
Colvend Parish Church at sunset.
Kirkcudbright and St Mary’s “Isle” (it isn’t, really):
Local beaches at Rockcliffe, Kippford and Castlehill Point:
Dumfries, Loch Kindar, New Abbey and Sandyhills Beach:
A walk around Castle Douglas and Loch Carlingwark, then drove up River Dee to Loch Ken and Dalry, through the Galloway Forest to Newton Stewart. Along River Cree estuary to Mossyard where Lucy chased (and lost) balls for a while.
Walked up through the Dalbeattie Forest and back down to Kippford. Later we drove down to the beach at Rockcliffe and Sally sketched and Lucy and I threw sticks for each other!
