Doors Open Day in Dumfries and Galloway 2009

Just a small selection of the images I took on Doors Open Day in Dumfries and Galloway. I did a tour of the properties in Wigtownshire, including Kirk Covenent in Kirkmaiden, Mull of Galloway Lighthouse and Monrieth House - all pictured above. Two images from the day will be published in tomorrow's Stranraer & Wigtownshire Free Press.

These are images from Portpatrick Folk Festival 2009 which all got published in the Stranraer and Wigtownshire Free Press. The event was a huge success and some people have already booked accommodation for next year!

The Galloway Gathering was part of Scotland's nationwide homecoming events.
