BIRCHY DOES ANNAN

by birchy99 - last update: Jun 25, 2005

The Long and Short of It

Doing the Dogs in Annan
When we go to Scotland we always end up in Annan. Annan is a relatively small town (pop. 10,000) on the Borders between England and Scotland.
We go there because our good friends and breeders of one of our dogs lives there. Personally, I have been there four times, Joanne three times.
It is an intriguing place. Set astride The Borders it has it's own history of violence and bloodshed. But it also has a cultural side being the home of Thomas Carlise and oft time visits from Robert Burns.
At present it seems to be struggling for survival but does claim a fish facotory, a pharmaceutaical plant and an atomic enery plant that is being mothballed at the present time.
We love this little town. And I must apologize to my hostess for once describing it as a village. For that I was severely rebuked.

In this picture you see Joanne and Shelagh walking Bria and Tiegan beside the River Annan just above the bridge that leads into Annan.

Please see the attending pages for more information.

 Hi Mart! An excellent page with loads of information. My daughter and I will be in England in September and wanted to see something else besides London and this could be our place. Happy birthday from Finland!

 wHAT A TRULY DELIGHTFUL READ. I found myself smiling many-a-time! Annan sounds like a place that I would enjoy, especially the Inn. Your restaurant tips are just wonderful, too. I also enjoyed viewing the travelogue.
