Author : David Carroll ISBN : 9781840332155 Cover : paperback Price : £7.50
The Solway Coast has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most picturesque parts of Scotland, characterised by castles, villages and beautiful countryside. This volume covers a relatively short stretch of the coast, taking in the communities of Powfoot, Cummertrees, Ruthwell, Clarencefield, Carrutherstown, Mouswald, Bankend, Glencaple, Kelton, New Abbey, Carsethorn, Kirkbean, Southerness, Gillfoot, Mainsriddle and Caulkerbush. Comlongon and Caerlaverock Castles feature, as do Sweetheart Abbey, the Solway Fishery and some of the area's big houses. Both locals and visitors to this area – close to Dumfries but peaceful and rural – will find much of interest.
