Tour of Dumfries & Galloway.
UGH! only 2 days left so decided to show Mike some of our favourite places that we had visited in the area. We set off firstly for New Abbey, to visit Sweetheart Abbey (picture 1, fish-eye lens), had a look around the outside of the fence as they had started charging since we were last here! 90% can be seen anyhow from outside!

The natives are friendly at least (picture 2).From here we stopped at a pottery that Mike pointed out and then never even came in, mind you it was pokey lol!
We then followed the coast road on round via places like Kirkcudbright, Gatehouse of Fleet and new Galloway until we got to Galloway Forrest Park.
Here we visited the Wild Goat Park, where 50 or 60 goats stay although there are estimated to be several hundred roaming wild in the surrounding mountains.
It is a real education watching the goats climbing this rock face as though they do not have a care in the world, as of course they do not!We had lunch here before heading for home.
