Happy Canada Day! It's good to see Ottawa on Scottish TV here (because of the visit of the young royal couple) when we are so far from home.
We got our rental car this morning - a great big Volvo stationwagon. I don't drive a manual anymore and the automatics at the rental car agencies aren't available in compact or economy size. It's very comfortable and we had a beautiful drive from Edinburgh. Thank goodness for GPS. It used to be much harder navigating.
Highlight of the trip here from Edinburgh was the amazing scenery in and around the Devil's Beef Tub. I hadn't seen it since I was a child travelling in Britain with my family years ago.
Dumfries proved to be an impossible place to park in at midday, so we went early to our B&B to ask our landlady if we could check-in early and park the car. This was fine, and so we walked from there to the Dumfries Archives. We made a little progress with Katherine's Walker ancestors this afternoon, and will be continuing the search tomorrow.
