Dumfries and back

 Gracefields Arts Centre.     Galleries Outside and In!!

 Moniaive for a late lunch, and a little walk..up a little hill....

 a steep little hill...and said hello to a horse..
 and saw interesting dressed stone gateposts, all with bench marks...

 looking back down on Moniaive, with the way home straight up the valley ahead
 Say no more!!   It is also the site of the oldest pub in Scotland, possibly (The George) and the Green Tearoom.

and back home via Carsphairn, last village in Dumfries and Galloway before you return to Ayrshire.   Notable for its free public toilets, which you find in hardly any of Ayrshire's villages!!

Do you know Drumlanrig? My husband and I spent a fascinating weekend there a few centuries ago.

What a lovely road home! Such interesting places and pretty furry faces!

RR we went to Drumlanrig last October to see the finish of the first stage of the Tour of Britain. Luckily we went to see the cycle museum there, which has apparently closed.
