Rockcliffe, Dumfriesshire
Further round the coast the sunset had gone but the sky still had a bit of colour
Sun setting in Dumfriesshire
Going into a field to avoid power lines I became aware I was being watched....Sun setting on the Dumfries coast
Inland, it was very cloudy, so we went sunset chasing on the coast. There was nothing much doing and we went round a bend in the road and came across this."The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" ... Dylan
Somewhere in Dumfriesshire. I knew it was going to be one of those weekends when this was the first thing that came in sight....

Sunday Afternoon in Kirkcudbright
Yep, we had the sun awhile here. Kirkcudbright - its pronunced kirKOOObree. This is McLellans Castle. I laid seige to it 45 years ago :-)
Dundrennan Abbey, near Kirkcudbright
Second visit here hoping to get some good light... all I can say is... it was better than last time :-)
Tower at dusk
A few miles to the north west of Southerness, near a farm called Cowcorse is an ancient fortified tower ruin, there are many such ruined towers in Scotland!Sunset at Southerness Point
Ha.... nearly missed it... dashed from the cloudy interior to the only bit of clear sky. Arrived just as the sun was setting.Homecoming...
No blogs since last Tuesday! I have of course been away, firstly three days for work and them camping in Dumfriesshire. This picture was taken at the Loch Arthur Community Creamery Shop - at Beeswing. A visit to this shop is greatly recommended if you are in the area!

North Berwick

By the Fintry Hills
Good Scottish skies! (No, its not dust on the sensor... black dots are birds...)Inchmahome Priory, Lake of Menteith, The Trossachs
The priory was founded in 1238. It is on an inch, or island and so you have to travel there by boat!
