After many holidays abroad in red hot temperatures all our friends said we would always regret ever getting a dog if we didnt put them in kennels to continue our hols in glorious sunshine. I told then they would be wrong and to this day i can honestly say I have never regretted it! We have walked for miles not meeting another person always finding peace and solitude with scenery like this.........



Our first walk was a short one 2 miles around the River Cree in Newton Stewart



















Our next walk was about 5 miles from Kirkudbright along the river Dee and back again



















this is where we sat for a picnic along the river bank











we had to keep the dogs on leads as it was farmland











go on mam giz a bit of yer sandwich







we walked around the river that Threave castle is on we couldnt go over as I dont think Marley and kala would have fit on the small boat for the crossing!















then onto the woodland walk







another walk took us to beautiful glentrool























this is Bruces stone in Memory of Robert the Bruce











and what a beautiful place to be situated overlooking stunning Loch Trool

beautiful Jude, we have always said we want to go, but we just cant because of all the animals, in saying that Ste is going in 10 days time with his dad,and I,m left home alone with the mob.



what was the weather like?

Wow,stunning pics Jude.

what a stunning place to go. i would love to go there.

i have to say jude .................. im very jealous

it look like you had an amazing time hun

were there not many people about then?

i think we might have to consider a holiday in scotland, i always worry about the journey though, its quite a distance

it looks like it would hun

fingers crossed next year, we may be investing in a caravan .. so it should make travelling easier

Me wanna go there I haven't been to Scotland since Craig and I got married 16 and a half years ago and then it was Edinburgh but I have always loved Scotland and the Highlands Its the scenery its breathtaking. Think Craig would be round all the Whisky Distillery's and I'd be walking the dogs Maybe we should move there.

Ed and I want to retire to Scotland we love it there ed has an obligatory trip to a distillery and buys a bottle thats his holiday treat. This year we went to the Bladnoch distillery and had a lovey picnic in the grounds by the river and a woodland walk.

Dont tell Craig for goodness sake I think he'd deffo be back with more than one bottle Must admit its my ambition to live out our days in Scotland

Those pics are beautiful, you cant beat nice countryside and Scotland has lots of it, I dont know why anyone built cities

It is gorgeous!!!!
