Friday 12th September
Firstly we will visit the ‘flat pack’ Dalswinton Barony Church, at 10.30am.
It is obvious from the road, and lies less than half a mile east of Dalswinton village which you reach by turning right (heading north from Dumfries) off the A76 to Auldgirth, and following your nose for 2.5 miles.
Secondly, we will visit Dalswinton House just after 11am, by kind permission of the Owner, where we will learn about the history of the house and the estate.
Lunch (indicative price £10-20pp) will be at Thomas Tosh, 19 East Morton Street, Thornhill DG3 5LZ which is fifteen minutes drive further up the A76. Turn right at the Thornhill Cross and it’s on the right. We shall leave Dalswinton just after 12.30.
Thirdly, after lunch, we will visit Durisdeer Parish Church with its unexpectedly grand Marbles. It lies between 5 and 6 miles from Thornhill, which will take us not much longer than 10 minutes. I suggest meeting there at 2.30pm or shortly afterwards.
