Dumfries - gateway to Galloway - is the first town of any real size that you come to after crossing the border from England. The Galloway area in the southwest of Scotland is often overlooked by tourists, as they rush by on their way to the urban delights of Glasgow or the rugged splendour of the Highlands. But the hills of Galloway have a smoother, rounder, calmer appeal; the lochs are smaller and their waters sparkle in a softer, more enticing light; the local people, ever reticent as Scots are towards strangers, offer a gentler, kinder welcome. <!-- Begin FREEFOTO Coding --> <A HREF='http://www.freefoto.com/' TARGET='_top'><IMG SRC='freefoto.gif' WIDTH='100' HEIGHT='30' ALT='FreeFoto.Com' BORDER='0' ALIGN='BOTTOM'></A> <!-- End FREEFOTO Coding --> |

Hi, Your comment, "ever reticent as Scots are towards strangers" You may wish to sort your fact outs before you publish. Best regards | Macfadyin Mon May 7, 2007 14:00 UTC
Used to see them a lot at Maastricht Airport in the Netherlands. A lot of what is supposedly airfreight actually travels by road. Although the trips are given flight numbers. | uglyscot Sat Jan 20, 2007 17:55 UTC
Dumfries? My mum had a ghostly experience here- woken nightly by phantom carriage and horses. My cousin married a man from here. That's all i knew about the place, until now. |
