Threave Castle

A few shots from last month's visit to Dumfries and region. The weather wasn't the best, but then again, I was actually alone on the island for a period of time (!)

A boat takes you over to the island

The ferry man gives me other associations - but fear was undue...

Down to the river

As there were so few visitors in the area, the boat man gave me an extra tour up the river

Being alone on the island, the boat man was kind enough to get me in a snap too

My new Irish National found at Anderson's kilts in Dumfries.

Excellent pics, Porrick. I've seen Threave Castle from the air a few times when flying around that area but still to visit the island. One to do next season perhaps.
