Scotland

Today we’re crossing the border into Scotland. We drive north to Dumphries then across to Castle Douglas near where tourist office found a cottage for us for two nights. It was raining this morning when we woke up in Keswick and it’s rained the whole way to Castle Douglas and the temperature is 13 degrees. Brrr…cold.

After we found our cottage and took our bags in we went looking for a supermarket. We found a Spar in the main street and bought a few essentials. Wouldn’t you know it, on the way home we discovered a big Tesco. Tesco is great. It’s great shopping there because their range of stuff is great whereas Spar is kind of corner store expensive.

Haha - typical. I know that part of Scotland well because my Mum lives not far away. If the weather's good, it's a great base. Don't miss the the art exhibition in Kirkudbright, it's usually worthwhile. Threave Castle gardens are pretty. And I love the village of Kippford.
