A Run in the Sun


It's been a long time coming but yesterday was sunny and fairly warm. It looked like every bike in Scotland was out on the road. I headed for Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway.

My route
 
Girvan Harbour - just for Trobairitz


Abandoned church, Barrhill

Loch Maberry. It's hard to see but there are many small islands in the loch. These are man-made and there was once a castle on one of them. Old, maybe late Dark Ages - 6th century?

Shennanton Old Bridge

River Bladnoch

Derelict cottage

Newton Stewart

Panorama

Monument to Randolph, 9th Earl of Galloway.

The inscription says "Erected by public subscription of all classes" - how very British.

Roadside daffodils are a sign of spring

The Glenlochar Barrage at the south end of Loch Ken controls water for the power station downstream

The church at Crossmichael
