What a fantastic day we had with NTS Rangers at Threave Estate and Nature Reserve. Their biodiversity, resilience and wellbeing walk and talk was really inspiring. We are 5 years into a 100 year project to increase the biodiversity of this beautiful area. They have two peregrine falcons and two pairs of nesting osprey in the reserve. As a bonus, we got over on the boat to visit the outside of Threave Castle built by Archibald the Grim in 1369. Work is almost complete so hopefully we can bring guests across the River Dee to this stunning island fortress. Another bonus was seeing the Belted Galloway’s in this beautiful setting. I wonder if they appreciate the views as much as we do.

A lovely day with Shona 1 from Dallas and Shona 2 from Houston. The two friends have been running Open Book at Wigtown for few days (after a three year wait). They met a while back on a group Zoom call book club during Covid. Both were surprised to find another Shona in their group as they had never met anyone else with that name.

Shona 1’s father was in the American Navy based at Faslane. Hence the Scottish name for his daughter. Shona 2’s mum was originally from Dundee and trained as a nurse. She went to secondment to Montana but met her future husband and never came home.

Say hello if you see them in Kirkcudbright over the next couple of days. They both have Scottish connections and love our beautiful wee country. I can’t say I blame them. It’s not a bad wee place is it.

Yesterday our return visitors were Nina and Hugh. Nina is originally from Connecticut but they live in Cumbria now. They were out with us a couple of years ago and decided to come back. After picking them up from Mabie House Hotel we made our way round the Solway Coast. One of the highlights was visiting the newly reopened Orchardton Tower. We also visited Kirkcudbright and Dundrennan Abbey where Mary Queen of Scots spent her final night in Scotland. We finished up at the Steamboat Inn, Casrethorn, for a lovely meal. Glorious sunshine once again. Enjoy it while you can folks.

Our third and final day with Terry and Jean from Boston. After leaving their fabulous accommodation Lindean Guesthouse in Dumfries it was off to Glasgow Airport but we took the scenic route with stop offs at Friars Carse, Closeburn, Drumlanrig Castle, Sanquhar, Wanlockhead (Scotland’s Highest Village). I would like to wish Terry and June a good journey home tomorrow. It was a pleasure sharing some time with you and showing round parts of Dumfries and Galloway.
