Eastriggs

Town, Village or Hamlet: Village
County: Dumfries and Galloway
Grid Reference: NY242662
Date Visited: 10 April 2012
Challenge Status: No video. Need to stop and look around.

On the way back from Hoddom Castle again. I would love to have seen the Devil's Porridge Exhibition, but we ran out of time and money on this trip.  This is why we tend to go back to places of real interest and treat these flying visits as foundations for a more organised trip.


The war memorial at Eastriggs.


Dornock

Town, Village or Hamlet: Village
County: Dumfries and Galloway
Grid Reference: NY231660
Date Visited: 10 April 2012
Challenge Status: No video. Need to stop and look around.

On the way home from our trip to Hoddom Castle we tried to stop in Dornock, but the rain was coming down hard and we abandoned any prolonged stay. But here are a couple of photos anyway that we took on the way through, stopping for all of 30 seconds.


 The camera was wet, the car window was wet, so I guess we'll just have to come back and take some more photos on our next visit.





Annan

Town, Village or Hamlet: Town
County: Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
Grid Reference: NY193665
Date Visited: 9 April 2012

A very quick visit to Annan on the way to Hoddom Castle.  It was a very dark and dreary day so we didn't stop for long in town and only went to the supermarket on the outskirts.



This is definitely a place I would like to spend a couple of hours sometime in the future.
