Today my co-pilot Mike took me to Castle Kennedy, on the outskirts of Stranraer, where we had lunch at the Plantings Inn.
We flew along the Solway Coast past Criffel Hill, which is near Dumfries.

The airfield at Castle Kennedy - my father was based here for a time during World War II.
Above the airfield you can just make out the castle between the two fresh water lochs.
In top of picture is Loch Ryan, a sea water inlet from where you can get a ferry to Ireland.
