Dock Park, Dumfries to Kingholm Quay–18th April 2015

 

A lovely sunny spring day so we parked by the Nith at Dock Park to walk to Kingholm Quay to see a tall ship coming in.

Tall ship La Malouine

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of people at Kingholme Quay…

….so we decided to find a quieter spot to have our picnic.

Back to the tall ship and a bit quieter now, so we decided to step on board.
