Thanks for sharing the pictures Alex. You have given me more reasons to return to Dumfries!
While I was there this past July, I picked up a book of the collected poems of Robert Burns. I keep it at my bedside and read a few pages most nights before turning out the lights. One of the things I find interesting is the references to local places in and around Dumfries and other places he lived in the vicinity. Now that I have seen the River Nith and a few other places, it is easier to visualize the things that inspired his poetry.
He is beginning to sound like a fellow that you would like to sit around a fire with on a winter's evening, (but lock up your daughter, also!)

Again, greatly enjoy your pictures.
