A visit to another village with family history connections.
Seaweed on the beach.
Across the sea to Galloway.
The beach was full of worm casts. I am sure this is a good spot for birds to feed.
The line of old cottages on the main street.
A return visit to Ardwell on the trail of my ancestors. We are pretty sure that my great great great grandfather lived in one of these cottages.
A visit to Ardwell House and gardens. Only the gardens are open to the public.
Cardoon thistles.
Wandering past the large greenhouse.
The large pond in the gardens. In the foreground you can see the top of the fish ladder.
After a walk around the gardens and large pond arriving back at the house.
