Mary’s Bench
If you have tried some of the GSW bridge series nearby, then this one links Kirkpatrick and Railway Cottages Road bridges nicely.
Sit a while and contemplate. This view is astounding. North over the hamlet of Kirkpatrick, with Closeburn in the middle distance, this is mid Nithsdale in all its glory on a clear day.
There are no dates on the plaque affixed to the bench. I love that Isabel has placed this bench in memory of her Mum, and across the road has attempted to create a roadside garden, with a stone perimeter in tribute.
This is a sizeable cache, with room for more or less anything. Trackables always welcome.
