DELIGHTFUL DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY
The school holidays were over and it was time for us to think about another tour. We have attempted to visit Dumfries and Galloway, in Scotland, before, but without success, so we decided to try again.
This also gave us an ideal chance to visit Pearl’s sister, who lives near Coldstream. We haven’t seen her for two years now, with several planned trips being cancelled.
We stayed with her for three nights, giving us the opportunity to get out and about in the area. The first morning, we decided to head for Cocklawburn Beach.
Before our stroll, we stopped for coffee at Pot-A-Doodle Do, Scremerston, just one mile from Cocklawburn. Then we headed for the beach, part of the Northumberland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Lindisfarne Site of Special Scientific Interest. You can see why this place is very popular with families during the summer and with dog-walkers all year around.
Sadly, when we were there, the weather wasn’t great, so the views were limited, which was a pity because there are regular sightings of dolphins hereabouts.
