We drove from here (Kilmarnock) ,to Dumfries ,then went the coast road past Sweetheart Abbey ,to Rockcliffe and Kipford ,both small sailing/fishing villages on the Solway coast ,whitewashed cottages at the waters edge etc. The tide was out for what seemed miles,and probably was ,and it was really strange being in Scotland ,but looking across the sand to Silloth , in Cumbria .
We drove home via Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas ,then up the side of Loch Ken and onwards towards Ayr ,and home to Killie.
It basically pissed down all day ,but at least it got us out the house ........and saved me from doing some diy


And the good thing was the roads would be ideal for a bike ride out ,so......
A bit of useless info ,i know ,but just though i'd share
