Barr is an out-of-the-way place, but certainly worth visiting. The neigbourhood is very suitable for nice walks. From our room we look at a lapping brook and we are in a good mood for our next trip this morning.

Unfortunately, we don't take much pictures on this day, nor on the next. After our experiences in the Highlands, we did not expect any other part of Scotland to be so beautiful, but this area certainly was. A bit hilly and many, many woods. Through the Galloway Forest Park we drive to Newton Stewart and from there to Wigtown, the 'book-town' of Scotland. We are both fond of books and can't resist to visit some of the shops in the main street. But time passes quickly and we have to continue. First to Glenluce, onto the Galloway peninsula (Rhinns) and from there to the coast.

Along the coast we drive back north, in the direction of Girvan. The harbour is a nice place to visit and the view on Ailsa Graig, a volcano island a few kilometers from the coast, is beautiful. Finally, we take another, new, route with new views to return to Barr.
'In the pub of the hotel we have very pleasant conversations with several Scottish and English people. After a discussion about whisky, we get 2 very expensive ones. But only after the people already have left, so we can't thank them. Unfortunately we have forgotten the brand, but fortunately for Teije, Elisabeth doesn't like whisky so he can drink both. He staggers a bit, walking back to our room...a bit tipsy, maybe?
