Bill,

I had not heard of Comlongon Castle before but you are right in XMarks country. I can't address the rest of your travel plans BUT strongly recommend that since you are so near Dumfries that you book in for a couple (at least) nights at Ferintosh. Good grief, you're right there. I'd recommend that you make that your base just after your wedding for at least a couple of days and lay yourselves at the mercy of P1M & Emma, David Dalglish (and lovely wife Helen) and cessna251towser (Alex)& Ann.

No one is going to bother you if you want honeymoon privacy but I can speak from experience that you wil find no better friends and tourguides to Southern Scotland and Northern England than these fine folks.

Good for you and CONGRATULATIONS!!
