Journey Home











We travelled home today from Todhills.




We decided to avoid the Motorway, and instead travelld the majority of the journey on the side road.




It took us through some interesting places....Gretna Green, Ecclfechan, Lockerbie and Abington.




We stopped to visit a few sites :




Bruce's Cave where Robert the Bruce is supposed to have hidden and gained inspiration from a spider trying to spin a web.




Ukranian POW Chapel near Lockerbie. 500 Ukranian POWs were brought here in 1947 from Italy. They built a chapel and many of them settled in the area on release.




Lockerbie a small town forever remembered because of the Pan Am Jumbo Jet brought down there by a bomb.
