More Scottish Rambles

Last Friday, after Bob and I took Bruce to the vet for his allergy shot (no flinching or yelping — such a good boy!), the three of us had a good walkabout to the ruins of Morton Castle. This castle is located about 2.5 miles from Thornhill. It was built sometime between 1270 and 1307 on land belonging to Thomas Randolph, the first Earl of Moray.

Sunday was beautiful, so Bob and I headed to Rockcliffe on the Solway Coast for some coastal walking. It was a scenic 55 minute drive and well worth it.

On Monday, we had Bruce walk us to Drumlainrig Castle from Thornhill. Once there, we did a 2.5 mile walk, called “A Turn along the Marr Burn.” It was another great day out with lots of sunshine.
