"These pictures were taken from the footpath beside the Nith.  It can be accessed from The Booglie near Carzield, from Carnsalloch and from a path at Wellington Bridge.  The path goes along the flood defences which were built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is also probable that the first track from Dumfries into Nithsdale followed this route.

The footpath is a core path.  It is not, unfortunately, suitable for wheelchairs or people with severe mobility difficulties, but well worth strolling along.  Let us know if you see any interesting birds, butterflies or plants as you walk."
