Lovely pictures from a dull day Valerie.
You're right about Loch Maberry being the source of the Bladnoch. I've an unfinished four year old project 'Loch Mayberry to Wigtown - The River Bladnoch', One of these days I'll maybe put it together.

Been looking through some of your recent uploads. You've had a lot of footage waiting. Top marks for remembering it all.
