    Dumfries and Galloway Pictures #3

    As promised, here is a selection of pictures of my travels when I stayed at Ferintosh last week. The full set will be uploaded to my photo blog site at www.fotothing.com/cleftref.

    Oops! I missed this shot taken in the Ferintosh garden where we enjoyed candles, incense and whiskey!



    Another shot at Sweetheart Abbey. It was named this by the monks after the Abbey was founded in 1273 by Lady Devorgilla of Galloway in memory of her husband John Balliol and who was later buried there with his embalmed heart.



    Even though a ruin, it's still impressive.



    Looking down the nave.



    Village street opposite the Abbey - it leads to a Corn Mill that, alas I didn't have the time to visit.



    MacLellan's Castle, Kirkcudbright. This is one of those places that you have to pronounce right! KerCooBree!



    Plaque giving some of the Castle's history.



    More to come!

    Trefor,

    Well done! I have enjoyed all three of your photo tour threads. When Pour1Malt posts pictures of Dumfries there is always this big bloke with a neatly trimmed beard and glasses in front of every image. Occassionally the fellow is next to a lovely red head which almost makes up for it, but it is nice to see some uncluttered images of Dumfries!

    The F-H.C.A.G. and I really hope to visit there in the near future.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Well Jamie I cannot fathom out as to whom this gentleman you refer to could possibly be!

    It cannot be Roberston as he adorns, rather than clutters the streets with his kilted presence, and he wasn't wearing glasses as all the pictures taken last week show!

    So the gentleman you refer to must have been elsewhere!
