View from Irish Street
The view here is over Brewery Street to White Sands the A781, then the Old Bridge over the River Nith and finally to Maxwell Street on the other side of the river with the parked cars. The weather as can be seen by coats and hats was pretty dreich as they say in this part of the world. Lucky for me I got most of my pictures taken before the rain set in for the rest of the day in Dumfries but found that it had snowed when I got back home to the Machars.

Towards Scottish Independence

ROBERT THE BRUCE
SLEW THE RED COMYN AIDED BY SIR ROGER
KIRKPATRICK AND OPENED THE FINAL STAGE FOR
SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE WHICH ENDED
VICTORIOUSLY AT BANNOCKBURN 1314
‘I MAK SICCAR’
It's reassuring to know that the 2014 version of the quest for Scottish independence will be done through the ballot box, not by the sword!

Rather run down, but with an excellent fish and chip shop!
The road runs down from the town on the high ground to the river Nith.
The old Devorgilla Bridge can be seen beyond with Maxwell Street rising on the far side.
