Dumfries
Dumfries is an ancient town with a long
and turbulent past. Today it is by far the biggest town in south west
Scotland. Dumfries was founded as a Royal Burgh in 1186 on the east side
of the lowest crossing point of the River Nith. The land beyond the Nith,
Galloway, only securely became part of Scotland during Alexander II's
reign in 1234: so Dumfries was very much on the frontier during its first
50 years and it grew. "Perfect for a days Triking round this piqturesce
county.
Your tour will be in the borders country and will take you to the headland
on the Solway coast of Dumfries and Galloway, Southerness Point which
sits at the eastern end of the Mersehead Sands. A lighthouse was built
here in 1748 by Dumfries Town Council for the direction of shipping coming
into the River Nith. Then its onward bound following on the land of the
Border Reivers where in the 15th and 16th centuries, life was marked
by cattle rustling, murder and pilfering. Then onto the tiny coastal
hamlet of Rockliffe which is overlooked by an Iron Age hilltop settlement
known as the Mote of Mark. This is where we stop for a cup of tea or
coffee and of course some traditional Scottish shortbread.
The last leg of our tour will take you up through Dalbeattie which is
a town just over 200 years old situated in the sheltered valley of the
River Urr. The town's best known historical figure and hero, Lieutenant
William McMaster Murdoch, Royal Naval Reserve, was the First Officer

Then it's back to the Dumfries for a hearty farewell & a complimentary
